Abstract:
Disclosed herein are systems and methods related to reducing or making more efficient handovers from one cell to another cell in a communications network. The method includes receiving mobility data for a device being serviced by a first cell, classifying the device based on the mobility data to yield a classification and making a handoff decision when handing off the device from the first cell to a second cell based at least in part on the classification. An example of the mobility data is a speed at which the device is moving.

Claim (Index 15):
A non-transitory computer-readable storage device storing instructions which, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform further operations comprising:\n receiving mobility data in a virtual layer for a device being serviced by a first cell in a heterogeneous network comprising at least a non-cellular node type and a cellular node type; classifying the mobility data in the virtual layer for the device to yield a classification, wherein the classification comprises an access type and an indication of an access priority to the access type, wherein the access priority comprises at least an acceptable access type or a preferred access type, and wherein the access type is identified from a list of access types which comprises at least one of a non-cellular node type and a cellular node type; measuring traffic characteristics from a prioritized list of traffic characteristics, the traffic characteristics comprising, for a plurality of devices operating within the heterogeneous network, the plurality of devices comprising the device and at least one additional device, two or more of (1) an adjustment of a node boundary of a node in the heterogenous network, (2) an adjustment of a power level of a node in the heterogenous network, (3) balancing of a cell load of a node in the heterogenous network, (4), a distribution of a load amongst nodes in the heterogenous network based on communications with the plurality of devices, (5) a distribution of the plurality of devices in the heterogenous network, and (6) a distribution of the plurality of devices and a load level of respective nodes in the heterogenous network, to yield a measurement; and making a handoff decision in the virtual layer when handing off the device from the first cell to a second cell based at least in part on the classification and the measurement.
