Abstract
A method for selecting a gateway node to support handover when a user equipment (UE) attaches to a 4G long-term evolution (LTE) network may include receiving a prediction from a machine learning engine predicting whether the UE is more likely to handover between the 4G LTE network and a 3G network or between the 4G LTE network and a 5G network based on handover data in the UE's location area. The method may further include selecting a first gateway node if the prediction indicates that the UE is more likely to handover between the 4G LTE network and the 3G network, and selecting a second gateway node if the prediction indicates that the UE is more likely to handover between the 4G LTE network and a 5G network. The first gateway node may support 4G and 3G sessions, and the second gateway node may support 4G and 5G sessions.
