Abstract

A method performed by a second network node (13) for handling communication of a UE (10), in a communication network (1). The second network node (13) generates a measurement configuration and a related condition configuration. The second network node (13) transmits to a first network node (12) and/or the UE (10), an indication of the 5 generated measurement configuration and/or the related condition configuration.

First claim

1 .- 40 . (canceled)

41 . A second network node for handling communication of a user equipment (UE) in a communication network, wherein the second network node comprises:
a communication interface; and processing circuitry configured to:
generate a measurement configuration and a related condition configuration; and
transmit, to a first network node and/or the UE, an indication of the generated measurement configuration and/or the related condition configuration.

42 . The second network node according to claim 41 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to receive an indication from the first network node to generate a full set or a delta set of measurement configuration and the related condition configuration for the second network node.

43 . The second network node according to claim 41 , wherein the related conditional configuration comprises an execution condition that needs to be fulfilled in order to trigger an execution of the related conditional configuration.

44 . The second network node according to claim 41 , wherein the indication comprises a value, an index, or a flag.

45 . The second network node according to claim 41 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to receive an indication from the UE, wherein the indication indicates stored measurement configuration and related condition configuration at the UE.

46 . The second network node according to claim 45 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to check that the indicated measurement configuration and related condition configuration at the UE is correct for the second network node.

47 . The second network node according to claim 41 , wherein the second network node is a target secondary network node.

48 . A user equipment (UE) for handling communication in a communication network, wherein the UE comprises:
a communication interface; and processing circuitry configured to receive an indication of a generated measurement configuration and/or a related condition configuration for a second network node.

49 . The UE according to claim 48 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to store the indicated measurement configuration and the related condition configuration for the second network node.

50 . The UE according to claim 49 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to transmit to the second network node or any other network node, an indication of the stored measurement configuration and the related condition configuration for the second network node.

51 . The UE according to claim 49 , wherein the related conditional configuration comprises an execution condition that needs to be fulfilled in order to trigger an execution of the related conditional configuration.

52 . The UE according to claim 49 , wherein the indication comprises a value, an index, or a flag.

53 . The UE according to claim 49 , wherein the second network node is a target secondary node.

54 . A first network node for handling communication in a communication network, wherein the first network node comprises:
a communication interface; and processing circuitry configured to receive an indication of a generated measurement configuration and/or a related condition configuration for a user equipment (UE) in a cell of a second network node.

55 . The first network node according to claim 54 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to store the indicated measurement configuration and the related condition configuration for the second network node.

56 . The first network node according to claim 55 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to transmit, to the UE or any other network node, an indication of the stored measurement configuration and the related condition configuration for the second network node.

57 . The first network node according to claim 54 , wherein the related conditional configuration comprises an execution condition that needs to be fulfilled in order to trigger an execution of the related conditional configuration.

58 . The first network node according to claim 54 , wherein the indication comprises a value, an index, or a flag.

59 . The first network node according to claim 54 , wherein the second network node is a target secondary network node and the first network node is a master node or a source secondary node.

60 . A method performed by a second network node for handling communication of a user equipment (UE) in a communication network, the method comprising:
generating a measurement configuration and a related condition configuration; and transmitting, to a first network node and/or the UE, an indication of the generated measurement configuration and/or the related condition configuration.

61 . A method performed by a user equipment (UE) for handling communication in a communication network, the method comprising:
receiving an indication of a generated measurement configuration and/or a related condition configuration for a second network node.

62 . The method according to claim 61 , further comprising storing the indicated measurement configuration and the related condition configuration for the second network node.

63 . The method according to claim 61 , further comprising transmitting, to the second network node or any other network node, an indication of the stored measurement configuration and the related condition configuration for the second network node.

64 . The method according to claim 61 , wherein the related conditional configuration comprises an execution condition that needs to be fulfilled in order to trigger an execution of the related conditional configuration.

65 . The method according to claim 61 , wherein the indication comprises a value, an index, or a flag.

66 . A method performed by a first network node for handling communication in a communication network, the method comprising:
receiving an indication of a generated measurement configuration and/or a related condition configuration for a user equipment (UE) in a cell of a second network node.
