Abstract

The technologies described herein are generally directed to providing radio resources to facilitate a predicted transition to active mode by idle user equipment in a fifth generation (5G) network or other next generation networks. An example method can include predicting that a user equipment of a group of user equipment in an idle mode will transition to an active mode during a time duration. The method can further include, identifying base station equipment that are able to provide coverage to the group of user equipment during the time duration. Further, the method can include, based on predicting the user equipment will transition to active mode, prioritizing allocation among the base station equipment, of resources to provide coverage to facilitate an active mode connection by the user equipment to the base station equipment.
