Abstract: A communication device includes a wireless transceiver circuit and a processor. The wireless transceiver circuit transmits and receives wireless signals. The processor processes the wireless signals to obtain information regarding a first period configured by a serving network device in order to measure signal strength of the serving network device and obtain information regarding a second period configured by the serving network device in order to detect a neighbor network device. The processor further determines whether an event related to low communication delay is triggered. When determining that the event related to low communication delay is not triggered, the processor performs a detection operation to detect the neighbor network device according to the second period. When determining that the event related to the low communication delay is triggered, the processor performs the detection operation to detect the neighbor network device according to a third period shorter than the second period.
