the latter equations are defined as follows: T denotes the DRX cycle of the UE where T is determined by the short- est of the UE-specific DRX value, if configured by RRC or upper layers and a default DRX value broadcast in SI. If UE-specific DRX is not configured by RRC or by upper layers, the default value is applied; N is the number of total PFs in T; Ns denotes the number of POs for a PF; PF_offset is the offset used for PF determination; and UE_ID = 5G-S-TMSImod1024 [12]. A UE in RRC_INACTIVE state performs cell reselection similar to the procedure earlier defined for the RRC_IDLE state. The UE in the RRC_INACTIVE state can be configured by the last serving NG-RAN node with an RNA, where the RNA can cover a single or mul- tiple cells and is contained within the CN registration area, as well as an RNA update that is periodically sent by the UE and is also sent when the cell reselection procedure of the UE selects a cell that does not belong to the configured RNA [8]. 2.3.3.3 Connected Mode Procedures In the RRC_CONNECTED state, the device has a connection established to the network. The goal of connected-state mobility is to ensure that this connectivity is sustained without interruption or noticeable degradation as the device moves across the network. To satisfy this goal, the device continuously searches for and conducts measurements on new cells both at the current carrier frequency (intra-frequency measurements) and at different car- rier frequencies (inter-frequency measurements) that the device has been configured to do. Such measurements are conducted on the SSB in the same way as for initial access and cell selection/reselection in idle and inactive modes. However, the measurements can also be conducted on configured CSI-RS. In the connected mode, the handover is network- controlled, and the UE does not make any decision on handover to a different cell. Based on different triggering conditions such as the relative power of a measured SSB relative to that of the current cell, the device reports the resu
