Abstract
The technology described herein is directed towards skipping handover, particularly for ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC) devices, based on uplink conditions and other conditions such as control channel capacity and uplink channel performance (e.g., efficiency-related data. In one aspect, a controller monitors UEs, such as URLLC devices, and for each UE evaluates serving cell and neighbor cell data conditions. Based on the conditions, the controller decides whether to allow handover or skip handover. In another aspect, a UE is provided with conditional handover criteria, and the UE skips or starts a handover based on UE state data monitored at the UE with respect to the conditional handover criteria. In another aspect, machine learning can model the relation between the performance data used for handover skip decisions with respect to signal strength data to determine very optimal thresholds for handover skip decisions.
