As shown in FIG. 7A, at 705, one or more UEs may receive information that configures a target cell monitoring window. For example, the target cell monitoring window may be configured in cell-specific signaling (e.g., a SIB broadcasted or otherwise transmitted by the source cell and/or the target cell), in UE-specific signaling (e.g., in a dedicated RRC message transmitted by the source cell and/or the target cell, such as an RRC reconfiguration message, or in a handover command message transmitted by the source cell to trigger a handover to the target cell), and/or in group-specific signaling (e.g., signaling addressed to a group of UEs based on location, UE identifiers, UE capabilities, and/or other suitable criteria). In some aspects, the information that configures the target cell monitoring window may indicate a start time and/or a length of the target cell monitoring window.
