Abstract:
In modern networks, frequent handovers (e.g., ping-pong) from one AP device to another is a situation that can lead to increased latency, excessive resource utilization, poor quality of service, or radio link failure (RLF). Conventional networks employ mobility robustness optimization (MRO) procedures to balance tradeoffs between setting low thresholds before initiating a handover procedure, thereby increasing the likelihood of ping-pong issues, and setting those thresholds to higher values, thereby increasing the likelihood of RLF. Conventional MRO procedures are tailored to terrestrial-only networks and furthermore merely react to existing issues. Hybrid networks, having both terrestrial and aerial AP devices often witness ping-pong issues and may be implemented with urgency not conducive to using MRO procedures. An architecture is presented that can predict and mitigate ping-pong and other issues in connection with hybrid networks before those issues occur.

Claim (Index 1):
A device, comprising:\n a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:\n determining that a cell edge of a first service area provided by a first access point device is overlapped by a second service area provided by a second access point device; \n determining that the second access point device is a mobile access point device that is configured to transit from a first physical location to a second physical location during operation; \n determining location distribution data representative of a portion of user equipment devices served by the first access point device that are located within a first defined distance from the cell edge and located at least a second defined distance away from the second service area; and \n updating handover trigger data based on the location distribution data, wherein the handover trigger data comprises a condition that, when satisfied, triggers a handover procedure.
