340. The first network device sends conditional handover configuration information to the terminal device.
In an implementation, the conditional handover configuration information is generated by the candidate target network device (which may also be referred to as the fourth network device). For example, in a handover preparation phase performed with the candidate target network device, the first network device may receive the conditional handover configuration information sent by the candidate target network device. Then, the first network device may directly send the conditional handover configuration information to the terminal device. In this case, all content in the conditional handover configuration information may be generated by the candidate target network device, and the first network device transparently transmits the conditional handover configuration information to the terminal device.
In another implementation, the conditional handover configuration information may be generated jointly by the candidate target network device and the first network device. For example, in a handover preparation phase performed with the candidate target network device, the first network device receives a part of content in the conditional handover configuration information, for example, the RACH resource configured by the candidate target network device for the terminal device. Then, the first network device determines the other part of content in the conditional handover configuration information, for example, an identifier of the measurement object and a signal quality threshold. The first network device sends the received part of content that is in the configuration information and that is sent by the candidate target network device and the other part of content that is in the configuration information and that is determined by the first network device to the terminal device.
