30 Claims

1. A method of wireless communication performed by a child node in a wireless network, comprising:

receiving a plurality of cost parameters associated with a plurality of neighbor nodes in the wireless network,

wherein each cost parameter, of the plurality of cost parameters, indicates a cost, due to an operating mode of a neighbor node of the plurality of neighbor nodes, of selecting the neighbor node as a target node for a handover procedure, a cell selection procedure, or a cell reselection procedure, and

wherein the operating mode of the neighbor node indicates an energy consumption state of the neighbor node; and

performing the handover procedure, the cell selection procedure, or the cell reselection procedure based at least in part on a cell priority list, associated with the plurality of neighbor nodes, and the plurality of cost parameters.
