Abstract
A system described herein may provide for the selection of a cell of a wireless telecommunications network to which a User Equipment ('UE') should connect. The UE may receive radio frequency ('RF') signals from a group of cells (e.g., implemented by Radio Units (“RUs”)) of a radio access network (“RAN”), and may determine signal strengths or measures of channel quality associated with the RF signals. For example, the UE may determine a rate of change of signal strengths over time associated with each cell, a differential rate of change, or some other value, and may select the cell based on the respective rates of change. For example, the UE may select a particular cell which exhibits the lowest differential rate of change of signal strengths over time. A particular cell may be implemented, for example, by a mobile RU mounted on a vehicle that maintains relatively close proximity to UE.
