1. Network equipment, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory that stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
receiving information from a device that identifies the device as an aerial user equipment, wherein the information allows for a determination that the device is airborne and thus distinguished from being a ground based user equipment;
determining, based upon receiving a handover radio link failure report, that the aerial user equipment is engaged in a ping-pong handover event with terrestrial based network equipment situated within a defined geographic area; and
transmitting, based upon receiving the handover radio link failure report, an instruction to the aerial user equipment to generate a confirmation of the ping-pong handover event, wherein the instruction comprises a delay value representing a back off time value for the aerial user equipment to refrain from gathering measurement data within the defined geographic area after generating the confirmation.
