Abstract
A method for performing a handover analysis is provided. The method can include obtaining base station location information for a plurality of base stations that provide a wireless network for communication with a moving vehicle, obtaining position and velocity information for the moving vehicle, and generating at least one handover metric computed from the position and velocity information and the base station location information, for use in determining a target base station to be used when performing a handover procedure to transition communication with the moving vehicle from the current base station to the target base station. This enables a variety of handover metrics to be generated that take into account the deployment of the wireless network, which can be useful in systems such as Air to Ground (ATG) systems where the moving vehicles have a relatively high velocity, and the base stations may be relatively far apart.
