1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:
receiving, by a terminal from a source cell, a transmission that includes a condition configuration information for a handover of the terminal;
determining, by the terminal, that a plurality of candidate cells fulfills a condition for handover based on the condition configuration information,
wherein the condition configuration information includes a single condition configuration that applies to all candidate cells included in the transmission and a separate condition configuration that applies to a candidate cell of the all candidate cells included in the transmission,
wherein the condition configuration information includes candidate cell selection information that includes at least one of a priority for each candidate cell, a cell type for each candidate cell, or separate candidate cell lists corresponding to different cell type, wherein the priority for each candidate cell depends on the cell type for each candidate cell, and in a case that a candidate cell with a higher-priority cell type and a candidate cell with a lower-priority cell type are present, the candidate cell with the higher-priority cell type is selected,
wherein the condition configuration information includes a first threshold value for the source cell and a second threshold value for the candidate cell, and
wherein the terminal considers that the candidate cell fulfills the condition based on determining that a measurement result of the source cell falls below the first threshold value and a measurement result of the candidate cell exceeds the second threshold value,
wherein the first threshold value for the source cell and the second threshold value for the candidate cell include at least one of: a reference signal received power (RSRP) threshold for the source cell and a RSRP threshold for the candidate cell; a reference signal received quality (RSRQ) threshold for the source cell and a RSRQ threshold for the candidate cell; or a signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) threshold for the source cell and a SINR threshold for the candidate cell; and
selecting, by the terminal, one candidate cell of the plurality of candidate cells.
