Abstract
Techniques for improved allocation of network resources using geolocation and handover management are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a system for optimizing a mobile communications network. The system may comprise one or more processors communicatively coupled to a mobile communications network. The one or more processors may be configured identify a neighbors table comprising a handover priority list of target base stations prioritized based on relative signal strength or quality of service of the target base stations apparent to mobile devices in a footprint of a source base station. The one or more processors may also be configured to determine a non-obvious handover plan based on at least one of geolocation data of a mobile device, user information associated with the mobile device, and network resources data. The one or more processors may further be configured to update the handover priority list in the neighbors table based on the non-obvious handover plan to provide improved allocation of network resources and improved signal strength or quality of service to a plurality of mobile devices within the mobile communications network over a sustained period of time.
