A method may include receiving a local identifier associated with a cell of a cellular network.

The method may include determining, based on the data structure, that the stored global identifier is not verified as associated with the local identifier. The method may include causing a received global identifier to be obtained based on determining that the stored global identifier is not verified as associated with the local identifier. The method may include determining that the stored global identifier matches the received global identifier to verify the stored global identifier. The method may include causing a handover to the cell based on determining that the stored global identifier matches the received global identifier.
