USER EQUIPMENT SPECIFIC MOBILITY OPTIMIZATION AND IMPROVED PERFORMANCE METRICS FOR IMPROVING HANDOVER PERFORMANCE

摘要

A system for optimizing mobility robustness is operable by a network entity that detects handovers or connection failures by served access terminals. The network entity defines classifications based on mobility, route, past serving cell, or location information for the served access terminals and associates each of the handovers or connection failures with a related classification. A system for improving handover performance records a time for which an access terminal is served by the network entity before being served by a neighboring cell. A performance metric is determined based on the recorded time and a handover policy is optimized based on the performance metric.
