Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. An apparatus for context-aware handovers (HOs), the apparatus comprising:
processor circuitry communicatively coupled with one or more Radio Access Technology (RAT) interfaces, the processor circuitry arranged to:
operate a context inference model (CIM) to determine context information of the apparatus, and predict a target location of the apparatus at a predicted time instance based on the context information,
operate a Reinforcement Learning Recommendation Model (RLRM) to determine a recommended target network at the predicted target location based on the context information, and
operate a session layer entity to, in response to detection of an HO trigger event, initiate an HO to the target network using an available RAT interface of the one or more RAT interfaces associated with the target network.
