Claim 0:
1. A method for performing a handover operation, the method comprising:
initiating, by one or more processors of a non-terrestrial node, communication with a first terrestrial node of a network at a first point in time, the first terrestrial node having a first unique node identifier and a cell identifier, wherein the non-terrestrial node and the first terrestrial node are configured to connect to client devices;
storing, in memory by the one or more processors, a mapping of the first unique node identifier associated with the cell identifier;
receiving, by the one or more processors, an indicator that content of the mapping is subject to change, wherein the mapping is updated after a number of unsuccessful handover attempts by the non-terrestrial node from the first terrestrial node to a second terrestrial node, wherein the cell identifier is common between both the first terrestrial node and a second terrestrial node, wherein the second terrestrial node has a second unique node identifier, wherein the non-terrestrial node is in range of the first terrestrial node at the first point in time, and in range of the second terrestrial node at a second point in time after the first point in time; and
based on the received indicator, the one or more processors updating the content of the mapping stored in the memory with the second unique node identifier of a second terrestrial node of the network associated with the cell identifier.
