1. A user equipment supporting conditional handovers to cells of a cellular network, configured to
receive configuration data for configuring multiple conditional handovers as a sequence from the cellular network which indicates for a plurality of target cells of the cellular network, conditions to trigger a conditional handover to any of the target cells,
check the conditions with respect to appliance, and, in case of appliance, trigger the conditional handover; and
provide a measurement report and/or measurement data triggered by a serving source cell, giving information about which conditions caused one or more previous handovers.
