    Abstract: A processing system deployed in a cellular network may obtain at least one uplink channel quality measure associated with an uncrewed aerial vehicle, where the uncrewed aerial vehicle includes at least one cellular radio for communication with the cellular network, identify that the at least one uplink channel quality measure is below at least a first threshold quality level, and transmit at least one instruction to implement a transmission time interval bundling between the uncrewed aerial vehicle and a serving cell for command and control traffic of the uncrewed aerial vehicle, in response to identifying that the at least one uplink channel quality measure is below the at least the first threshold quality level.

    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, identifying a plurality of cells that are located within a threshold distance from a planned flight trajectory of an aerial UE, determining, for each cell of the plurality of cells, a height threshold previously defined for that cell, resulting in a plurality of height thresholds, for each of one or more altitudes or one or more altitude time series, estimating a number of handovers or a frequency of handovers that might be triggered for the aerial UE due to height-based handover events along the planned flight trajectory, wherein the estimating is based on the plurality of height thresholds, based on the estimating, selecting a particular altitude or a particular altitude time series for the aerial UE, resulting in a selection, and causing the aerial UE to conduct a flight in accordance with the selection. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving information regarding an aerial UE that is communicatively coupled with a network node, obtaining data associated with the network node that correlates altitude values with signal quality levels and/or probabilities of connectivity disruption, determining a conservative height threshold and an aggressive height threshold for the network node based on the data, wherein the conservative threshold is lower than the aggressive threshold, analyzing the information regarding the aerial UE, based on the analyzing, selecting either the conservative threshold or the aggressive threshold for the network node to use for the aerial UE, resulting in a selected height threshold, wherein the selected height threshold affects a frequency or likelihood of height-based trigger events for the aerial UE, and causing the network node to include the selected threshold in height-based measurement report settings for the aerial UE. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, collecting performance information for a plurality of user equipment (UE) devices and a base station in a radio communication network, determining that one or more UE devices experience a synchronization failure attempting to connect to a base station, determining to temporarily boost transmit power of a synchronization signal block by the base station to facilitate synchronization, determining a boosted power level of the transmit power of the synchronization signal block to minimize disruption to UE devices in an overlapping area between a first cell coverage area of the base station and a second cell coverage area of an adjacent base station, transmitting the synchronization signal block by the base station at the boosted power level for reception by the UE devices, and connecting one or more UE devices to the base station. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining network-related information for a terrestrial cell and for an aerial cell that has been deployed to offload traffic from the terrestrial cell, determining whether traffic has been offloaded from the terrestrial cell to the aerial cell based on the network-related information obtained over time, responsive to a determination that traffic has been offloaded, determining whether a current load on the terrestrial cell satisfies a threshold, responsive to a determination that the current load satisfies the threshold, instructing the aerial cell to enable boosting of synchronization signal power, obtaining additional network-related information for the terrestrial cell and the aerial cell, identifying whether additional traffic has been offloaded from the terrestrial cell to the aerial cell based on the additional network-related information, and performing action(s) to increase or decrease the synchronization signal power based on the identifying. Other embodiments are disclosed.
