1. A network entity for managing mobility in a wireless communication system, the network entity comprising:
a transceiver; and
a processor operably coupled to the transceiver, wherein the processor is configured to:
determine an initial mobility management configuration for a user equipment (UE) in a serving cell when a signaling connection between the UE and the network entity is initially established, wherein the initial mobility management configuration is based on cell configuration information of the serving cell;
identify a current context of the UE based on reports received from the UE;
determine an updated mobility management configuration for the UE based on the current context of the UE and a tradeoff between a signaling load and a handover delay;
transmit a configuration message to update the UE with the updated mobility management configuration;
determine whether to trigger a handover of the UE based on comparison of the serving cell and neighbor cell measurements with thresholds; and
trigger the handover based on the updated mobility management configuration.
