The first request message is used to request the first cell handover list corresponding to a first TAC, which is a TAC of a current cell of the terminal device, and the first information indicates the first cell handover list. The terminal device may store a cell list corresponding to each line in advance. When the terminal device moves on a line, the terminal device may determine, based on the first TAC, the cell list corresponding to the line to perform cell handover.

A computer implemented method (200) is disclosed for managing Conditional Handover of a UE in a cellular communication network. The method comprises receiving a report of radio resource measurements performed by a UE (210) and assigning a current radio location of the UE to a radio zone of the communication network on the basis of the contents of the report (220). A radio zone comprises a region of a multidimensional radio space over which the communication network extends that is defined by a particular combination of radio field characteristics (220a). Each cell of the communication network comprises a plurality of radio zones. The method further comprises updating, in a database, a trajectory of the UE through the radio space of the communication network with the radio zone to which the current radio location of the UE is assigned (230), and using the updated trajectory to calculate a probability of Handover of the UE to neighbor cells of the current serving cell of the UE (240).
