Abstract: Techniques are described for improving handover performance in the context of UEs incorporated into unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs, a.k.a., drones). A database is constructed that relates locations in a three-dimensional flying space to handover information that may include optimum scanning directions, optimum handover parameters, and/or optimum target cells to be monitored for possible handover.
