For fifth-generation (5G) and 5G-Advanced networks, outage reduction within the context of reliability is a key objective since outage denotes the time period when a user equipment (UE) cannot communicate with the network. Earlier studies have shown that in the experimental high mobility scenario considered, outage is dominated by the interruption time that stems from the random access channel (RACH)-based handover process from the serving cell to the target cell. A handover by itself is a necessary mobility process to prevent mobility failures and their associated outage. This paper proposes a RACH-less handover signaling scheme for the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) conditional handover (CHO) mechanism. The proposed scheme exploits the decoupling between the CHO preparation and execution phases to establish initial synchronization between the UE and the target cell through an early acquisition of the timing advance. This significantly curtails the RACH process and therefore the handover interruption time. Results based on a system-level simulation-based mobility study have shown that the proposed scheme significantly reduces the outage and its constituent handover interruption time relatively by 18.7% and 43.2%, respectively.
