Abstract:
Techniques are described for improving handover performance in the context of UEs incorporated into unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs, a.k.a., drones). A database is constructed that relates locations in a three-dimensional flying space to handover information that may include optimum scanning directions, optimum handover parameters, and/or optimum target cells to be monitored for possible handover.

Claim (Index 13):
An apparatus for a user equipment (UE) incorporated into an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), the apparatus comprising\n memory and processing circuitry, wherein the processing circuitry is to: derive location information relating the UE's location in a defined three-dimensional geographic region from global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signals, inertial navigation system signals, cellular network signals, or a combination thereof; wherein the derived location information indicates the UE's location in the defined three-dimensional geographic region as defined by longitude, latitude; and elevation coordinates; compute a handover parameter set as a function of the location information, wherein the handover parameter set includes one or more preferred beamforming directions for the UE to use in scanning neighboring cells and measuring their link qualities for possible handover; and, control the directionality of a directional antenna in accordance with the computed handover parameter set.
