There are provided measures for satellite coverage change handling. Such measures exemplarily include, at a network entity managing a first cell of a mobile network and a second cell of said mobile network, the first cell covering a geographical area, and the second cell covering said geographical area, maintaining assignment of a first satellite beam corresponding to a first passing satellite to said first cell, a first satellite beam coverage of said first satellite beam overlapping with said geographical area, determining entrance of a second satellite beam coverage of a second satellite beam corresponding to a second passing satellite into said geographical area, assigning said second satellite beam to said second cell, and deciding to trigger handover of a terminal located within said second satellite beam coverage within said geographical area and served by said first cell to said second cell.

Satellite coverage change handling

A method is disclosed that includes selecting at an apparatus a user equipment for an automatic neighbor relations measurement based on a determination one or more parameters associated with the user equipment meet one or more scenarios. The method includes initiating by the apparatus an automatic neighbor relations measurement procedure for the selected user equipment. The method includes awaiting at the apparatus for a conclusion of the initiated automatic neighbor relations measurement procedure. Apparatus and program products are also disclosed.

Success rate improvements for ANR measurements while reducing data loss at a UE

Systems and techniques for improved mobility robustness optimization. A user device experiencing a radio link failure sends a radio link failure report upon successfully connecting to a cell. The radio link failure report is routed to an appropriate cell, such as the cell where the radio link failure occurred. Radio conditions measurement information appearing in the radio link failure report is compared against each possible applicable threshold that might have been used by the user device, and a failure event is recorded for each comparison that indicates a failure, such as a radio link failure or handover failure. The failure event information is forwarded to suitable network elements for analysis and improvement of mobility robustness optimization operations.
