- the UE3 may start conditional mobility (e.g., CHO) in response to receiving a conditional mobility start command from the source DU2A (or CU1).
- the mobility start condition set in the UE 3 for conditional mobility may be reception of explicit signaling (e.g., conditional mobility start command) from the network (e.g., source DU2A).
- the conditional mobility start command is in a lower layer (eg, MAC layer, physical layer) than the layer (RRC layer) of the message (eg, RRC message) sent from the network to UE3 to set the mobility start condition to UE3. It may be a signal. More specifically, the conditional mobility start command may be DCI (i.e., physical layer signaling) transmitted on PDCCH or MAC CE (i.e., MAC layer signaling). In general, the physical layer and MAC layer signaling can be sent more frequently than the RRC layer signaling. In other words, the intervals of transmission opportunities of the physical layer and MAC layer signaling are shorter than those of the RRC layer signaling. Therefore, using signaling of a layer lower than the RRC layer can contribute to prompt transmission of the conditional mobility start command to the UE3.
- DCI i.e., physical layer signaling

- the MAC or physical layer signaling from the SN (ie, source DU2A and CU1) to the UE3 is transmitted to the UE3 via the physical channel of the cell provided by the SN (ie, source DU2A and CU1). Can be sent directly to. Therefore, the SN (ie, source DU2A and CU1) sends the conditional mobility start command to the UE3 by transmitting a conditional mobility start command using signaling of a layer lower than the RRC layer (eg, MAC layer, physical layer). The delay in sending can be reduced.
- the RRC layer eg, MAC layer, physical layer
