1. A method of a user equipment (UE) operating in a multi-radio dual connectivity (MR-DC) mode with a master node (MN) and a secondary node (SN), comprising:
identifying, prior to a radio link failure (RLF) of a special cell (SpCell) of a secondary cell group (SCG) of the SN, that a handover condition corresponding to a degradation of the SpCell of the SCG of the SN has been detected at the UE; and
in response to identifying that the handover condition corresponding to the degradation of the SpCell has been detected at the UE:
sending an SCG measurement report to the SN on a first signaling radio bearer (SRB); and
repeating a transmission of the SCG measurement report to the MN on a second SRB before an instruction to perform a handover to a new SN is received at the UE; and
performing the handover from the SN to the new SN in response to receiving the instruction.
