Abstract

A computer-implemented method () performed in a radio access network () for secondary carrier prediction is provided. The method includes obtaining () an uplink channel impulse response based on a reference signal transmitted by a user equipment (UE) () over a primary carrier link to a serving network node () in a primary cell () currently serving the UE (). The method includes extracting () one or more features from the uplink channel impulse response. The method includes predicting () an existence or non-existence of a secondary carrier link between the UE () and a target network node in a secondary cell () based on the extracted one or more features. The method includes determining () whether to perform a handover procedure of the UE () from the serving network node in the primary cell () to the target network node in the secondary network cell () based on the predicting.
