Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 7:
8. A method of wireless communication performed by a base station of a mobile network, comprising:
transmitting system information corresponding to an aerial cell of the mobile network or a cell having at least one aerial sector, the aerial cell or the at least one aerial sector being formed by one or more uptilt beams of the base station, wherein a serving cell of the aerial UE is the aerial cell or the cell having the at least one aerial sector;
transmitting serving cell system information of the serving cell, the serving cell system information indicating first bias offsets of the serving cell, the first bias offsets being configured to prioritize selection of aerial cells or aerial sectors by the aerial UE;
transmitting neighbor cell system information of one or more neighbor cells, the neighbor cell system information indicating second bias offsets of the one or more neighbor cells, the second bias offsets being configured to prioritize selection of the aerial cells or the aerial sectors by the aerial UE;
performing, according to the system information, a random access channel (RACH) procedure with an aerial user equipment (UE);
establishing, via the aerial cell or the at least one aerial sector, a communications link with the aerial UE; and
performing a cell reselection procedure in response to a determination based at least on cell reselection criteria calculated using the first bias offsets and the second bias offsets.
