1. An apparatus comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
receive two or more filtering configurations, wherein a first configuration of the two or more filtering configurations is associated with at least one first target cell associated with a first distributed unit, wherein a second configuration of the two or more filtering configurations is associated with at least one second target cell associated with at least one second distributed unit, wherein the first distributed unit is different from the at least one second distributed unit, and wherein the first distributed unit and the at least one second distributed unit are logical nodes of a radio access network;
select a configuration of the two or more filtering configurations for at least one target cell based, at least partially, on a determination of whether a serving cell and the at least one target cell are controlled with a same distributed unit, wherein the serving cell is controlled with the first distributed unit; and
perform filtering of a plurality of layer one measurements associated with the at least one target cell using the selected configuration.
