Abstract

User equipment (UE) speed awareness for mobility management reduces handovers for rapidly moving UEs that are in connected mode, reducing handover-induced dropped calls and traffic interruptions. Examples determine a speed of a UE and, based on at least determining that the speed of the UE exceeds a first threshold speed, prioritize the lowest available frequency band for the UE. Prioritizing the lowest frequency band comprises: based on at least the UE already using the lowest frequency band: not instructing the UE to perform an inter-frequency measurement; and/or not performing an inter-frequency handover to a higher frequency band; and based on at least the UE not already using the lowest frequency band: instructing the UE to perform an inter-frequency measurement for the lowest frequency band; and based on at least the lowest frequency band being available for the UE, instructing a handover of the UE to the lowest frequency band.
