Methods, systems, and devices for performing a handover of unmanned aerial vehicles (uavs) based on height thresholds of base stations

Abstract

Described techniques can enable seamless handover of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) between base stations. Aspects may include obtaining measurements reports of a group of target base stations. Each measurement report includes a target height threshold of a target base station. Further embodiments can include receiving a notification that a UAV communicatively coupled to a serving base station has exceeded a serving height threshold of the serving base station, selecting a first target base station from the group of target base stations based on a first target height threshold of the first target base station, and providing instructions to the serving base station to perform a handover of the UAV from the serving base station to the target base station based on the selection. The serving base station performs the handover of the UAV to the target base station based on the instructions. Other embodiments are included.
