Emerging use cases like XR and Time-Critical Communication demand ultra-low handover interruption. Enter Layer 1/Layer 2 Triggered Mobility (LTM) — a 3GPP RAN Release 18 feature designed to accelerate handovers by pre-synchronizing with candidate cells, cutting down interruption time significantly.

LTM leverages L1 measurements and L2 signaling to initiate handovers faster, ensuring smoother connectivity even in delay-sensitive scenarios. This mechanism not only enhances current 5G networks but is also a foundational step toward 6G mobility.
