5G NR cells may experience issues, such as too early or too late handover, handover to wrong cell, ping-pong handover, that not only impact user experience, but also waste network resources, if handover parameters are not set properly. MRO is intended to automatically detect the handover issues, and determine actions to configure the handover parameters in cells in order to improve the handover performance.

It is also important to have information about the used beams in the source in order to optimize the handover performance taking beam IDs into account.

The MRO related measurements are used to support the mobility roburstness optimization SON function.
