Abstract: Some wireless communication systems perform handover procedures to transfer user equipment (UE) communications between network entities. In some approaches, handover procedures may be performed via layer 3 (L3) signaling (e.g., L3 mobility). Layer 1 (L1) or Layer 2 (L2) triggered mobility (LTM) may allow handovers to be triggered via L1 or L2 signaling. Some of the techniques described herein may be utilized to handle key derivations when a UE is configured with candidate LTM cells of different network entities. For example, security keys may be updated with one or more inter-network entity LTM handovers after an initial handover. From the UE perspective, the UE may receive a configuration of LTM candidates once, but may perform one or more LTM executions using the configuration of LTM candidates. After the initial LTM procedure for the initial handover, the UE may receive an independent security configuration update for a subsequent LTM execution.
