1. A method comprising:
determining, by a user equipment in a wireless network, a highest quality cell from a plurality of cells, wherein the highest quality cell is determined based on measurement quantities of the plurality of cells;
determining, by the user equipment, and in response to the determining of the highest quality cell, a subset of cells from the plurality of cells, wherein a quality of each cell of the subset is determined based on the measurement quantity of the respective cell being within a configured relative offset of the measurement quantity of the highest quality cell;
determining, for each cell of the subset, a number of high quality beams based on a configured parameter; and
selecting, from the subset, a cell having a highest number of high quality beams.
