Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine predicted mobility information associated with the UE that indicates a predicted route of the UE and one or more cells associated with the predicted route. The UE may transmit the predicted mobility information to a source base station. The UE may perform a handover of the UE from the source base station to a target base station based at least in part on the predicted mobility information. Numerous other aspects are described.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving video content streams from multiple source mobile devices and identifying that the video content streams pertain to a same event. Additional aspects may include identifying end mobile devices for the video content streams and determining a portion of the end mobile devices are coupled to one communication network and another communication network. Further aspects can include identifying a predicted traffic pattern on the first communication network based on the multiple video content streams pertaining to the same event and that the portion of the multiple end mobile devices are communicatively coupled to the first communication network. Additional aspects may include transmitting a portion of the video content streams across the first communication network and transmitting another portion of the video content streams across the second communication network according to the predicted traffic pattern. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Determining to initiate a user equipment handover event based on a signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio value is disclosed. The disclosed subject matter can employ the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio value in lieu of a reference signal receive power value. In an aspect, a handover based on the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio value can generally be determined faster and with greater reliability than basing the handover on the reference signal receive power value. In an aspect, some embodiments can substitute a determined uplink signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio value for a downlink signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio value. In some embodiments, a predicted signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio value can be determined based on historical channel characteristics, hysterical wireless network environment features, or other historical data. A predicted signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio value can be validated to a determined current signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio value, permitting a validated predicted value to be employed until a next validation event.

During operation, an access point aggregates communication-performance information and behavior information in a wireless local area network (WLAN) corresponding to an electronic device, where the communication-performance information and the behavior information are aggregated over a time interval that is longer than an instance of a connection or association of the electronic device to the WLAN. Then, the access point provides the communication-performance information and the behavior information to a second electronic device. After receiving information about another instance of a connection or association of the electronic device to the WLAN, the access point provides a request to the second electronic device for historical information about communication performance and behavior of the electronic device in the WLAN. Moreover, after receiving the historical information, the access point selectively provides the transition recommendation in the WLAN to the electronic device, where the transition recommendation is based at least in part on the historical information.

The present disclosure relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular, to a handover control method and device. The existing handover mechanism may cause the problem that too frequent handover measurement of a terminal increases the energy consumption of the terminal, negatively impacting the power saving of the terminal. A source satellite base station of the embodiments of the present disclosure receives auxiliary information reported by a terminal, determines at least one candidate satellite base station according to satellite base station orbital map information of the current region and the auxiliary information, and returns a handover command to the terminal according to the at least one candidate satellite base station, so that the terminal determines, according to the handover command, a target satellite base station to which the terminal is to be handed over, and is handed over from the source satellite base station to the target satellite base station. As the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a handover procedure for source satellite base station decision triggering, a terminal does not need to frequently measure the current serving base station and an adjacent base station, thereby simplifying the handover procedure and reducing the energy consumption of the terminal.

A method and system for joining a Wi-Fi network with a mobile device based on historical device behavior includes detecting, using a mobile device, a new Wi-Fi network connection is available for connection by the mobile device. The method and system includes determining that the new connection meets a first connection threshold based on first connection factors. The method and system further includes analyzing historical data regarding acceptance of Wi-Fi network connections for the device. The analysis of the historical data is used to determine a pattern for accepting a connection. The method and system includes determining when to accept the new Wi-Fi network connection based on the new connection meeting the first connection threshold based on the first connection factors, and the second connection threshold based on the historical data.

A method and apparatus for selecting an access point (AP) for providing a service at a user equipment (UE). The example method may identify, by a user equipment (UE), a first AP available for communication. The example method may determine, by the UE, whether the first AP is suitable based, at least in part, on an indication for the first AP in an AP history table stored in a memory of the UE, wherein the indication is based on UE-determined metrics determined during one or more prior communications between the UE and the first AP. The example method may also include establishing communication between the UE and the first AP, in response to determining that the first AP is suitable.

A communication device includes a wireless communication device, a location information acquisition device, a storage and a controller. The wireless communication device wirelessly communicates with a base station used as a connection destination. The location information acquisition device acquires location information on a location of the communication device. The storage stores historical communication information on past communication status. The controller determines a degree of risk of occurrence of reduction in an amount of available communication bandwidth beyond a tolerance limit based on the historical communication information and the location information. The controller further controls a transmission rate for communicating the data based on a result of determination of the degree of risk.

The described technology is generally directed towards having a wireless network device assist a user equipment to facilitate narrow beam handover. A network device determines narrow beam handover candidates of neighbor cell sites based on geometric relationships between the user equipment, a serving cell site and the neighbor cell site candidates. Historical information such as previous narrow beam handovers from a serving beam to neighbor narrow beams can be used to select a lesser number of the possible candidate beams. The network device sends the candidate beams to the user equipment, which then measures and reports the measurements to the network device. If handover criteria based on the measurement is met, the network device orders a handover to a selected narrow beam, e.g., the narrow beam with the best measurement data of the candidates.

A method, system, and computer program product for limiting the amount of electromagnetic frequency emissions from a mobile device in a time of high anxiety.

The method may also include determining whether the anxiety level is above a threshold anxiety level. The method may also include calculating, in response to determining that the anxiety level is above the threshold anxiety level, a ping-pong rate for the mobile device. The method may also include reducing the ping-pong rate.
