A UE may receive an RRC reconfiguration message (e.g., handover command) from a source base station. The RRC reconfiguration message may comprise SIB1 of a target base station. Based on the SIB1 in the RRC reconfiguration message, the UE may perform a acquisition procedure of the SIB1. The UE may forward information, related to upper layers, in the SIB to upper layers (e.g., UE-NAS layer). Based on the information, the UE-NAS layer may initiate a NAS procedure (e.g. registration procedure or service request procedure) and submit a NAS message for the NAS procedure to lower layers (e.g., UE-RRC layer). The UE may perform a random access procedure toward the target cell. Based on successful completion of the random access procedure, the UE may send an RRC reconfiguration complete message to complete handover procedure (e.g., reconfiguration with sync). Based on successful transmission of the RRC reconfiguration complete message, the UE may send the NAS message to the target base station.
