Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining measurements reports of a group of target base stations. Each measurement report includes a target height threshold of a target base station from the group of target base stations. Further embodiments can include receiving a notification that an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) communicatively coupled to a serving base station has exceeded a serving height threshold of the serving base station, selecting a first target base station from the group of target base stations based on a first target height threshold of the first target base station, and providing instructions to the serving base station to perform a handover of the UAV from the serving base station to the target base station based on the selection. The serving base station performs the handover of the UAV to the target base station based on the instructions. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining a first extended cell global identifier (ECGI) of an aerial base station (ABS), determining a location of the ABS, and determining that a terrestrial base station (TBS) is within a distance threshold of the location of the ABS. Further embodiments include providing the first ECGI of the ABS to the TBS, and providing instructions to the TBS to obtain an ECGI from each terrestrial communication device (TCD) communicatively coupled to the TBS. Each of the TCDs obtain the ECGI for each neighboring base station. The TCDs provide the ECGIs to the TBS. Additional embodiments include configuring a neighboring list with the ECGIs of the neighboring base stations, and providing instructions to the TBS to identify as high priority a second ECGI of the ABS within the neighboring list based on the first ECGI of the ABS. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: The technologies described herein are generally directed to providing internetwork coverage to user equipment affected by a temporary network outage in a fifth generation (5G) network or other next generation networks. For example, a method described herein can include identifying an outage area associated with an incident. The method can further include, based on the outage area, identifying a user equipment affected by a coverage interruption. Further, the method can include communicating a notification comprising an identification of the user equipment as being affected by the coverage interruption, the second network equipment is part of a second communication network based on the outage area, identify a user equipment affected by a coverage based on the outage area interruption based on coverage being available to the user equipment, after the coverage interruption, via the second communication network.

Abstract: The technologies described herein are generally directed to providing, based on a paging message, radio resources to facilitate a transition to active mode by idle user equipment in a fifth generation (5G) network or other next generation networks. An example method can include identifying an idle mode activation message. The method can further include, based on the activation message, predicting that the user device is going to request an active connection. Further, the method can include prioritizing allocation of antenna resources to the user device over different user devices in an idle state, based on a prediction that the user device will transition to an active state before the different user devices. Further, the method can include, based on the prioritizing, directing a base station to cause a beamformed signal to a predicted location of the user device to accept the active connection.
