Specifically, when the terminal device determines that the cancellation condition is satisfied, the terminal device releases the conditional handover configuration information, that is, releases all or some of the information included in the configuration information.
660. The terminal device sends a notification message to the first network device.
Specifically, the notification message is used to indicate the first network device to release the conditional handover configuration information.
670. The first network device releases the conditional handover configuration information.
That is, after receiving the notification message sent by the terminal device, the first network device releases all or some of the information included in the conditional handover configuration information.
Alternatively, in another embodiment, in this application, the terminal device may not send a notification message to the first network device. For example, after sending the conditional handover configuration information, the first network device may release the configuration information. For another example, the first network device may alternatively release the configuration information according to a timer. This embodiment of this application is not limited thereto.
680. The first network device sends a release notification message to the candidate target network device.
Specifically, the release notification message is used to indicate the candidate target network device that performs handover preparation in advance to release stored information such as a context of the terminal device, a reserved RACH resource, and a C-RNTI allocated to the terminal device.
