Abstract
A base station of the cellular network receives a history of wireless access of a user device. When the history indicates that the user device is a mobile device, the base station commands the user device to perform a mobility measurement. When the history indicates that the user device is a stationary device, the base station commands the user device to bypass the mobility measurement. The user device is determined to be a mobile device when the history indicates that the user device is wirelessly connected with at least two different base stations within a threshold period of time. The user device is determined to be a stationary device when the history indicates that the user device is connected with the base station and no other base station within a threshold period of time.
Claims20
A computing device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a computer-readable storage medium storing a plurality of computer-executable components that are executable by the one or more processors to perform a plurality of actions, the plurality of actions comprising:
- receiving, at a particular base station of a cellular network, a record of a plurality of base stations of the cellular network being accessed by one or more user devices;
- extracting from the record, a history of a first user device accessing the plurality of base stations;
- when the history indicates that the first user device wirelessly connected with at least two different base stations within a first threshold period of time, commanding the first user device to perform a mobility measurement;
- and
- when the history indicates that the first user device wirelessly connected with the particular base station and no other base station within a second threshold period of time, commanding the first user device to bypass the mobility measurement.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, at a particular base station of a cellular network, a record of a plurality of base stations of the cellular network being accessed by one or more user devices;
- extracting from the record, a history of a first user device accessing the plurality of base stations;
- when the history indicates that the first user device wirelessly connected with at least two different base stations within a first threshold period of time, commanding the first user device to perform a mobility measurement;
- and
- when the history indicates that the first user device wirelessly connected with the particular base station and no other base station within a second threshold period of time, commanding the first user device to bypass the mobility measurement.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media of a computing device storing computer-executable instructions that upon execution cause one or more processors to perform acts comprising:
- receiving, at a particular base station of a cellular network, a record of a plurality of base stations of the cellular network being accessed by one or more user devices;
- extracting from the record, a history of a first user device accessing the plurality of base stations;
- when the history indicates that the first user device wirelessly connected with at least two different base stations within a first threshold period of time, commanding the first user device to perform a mobility measurement;
- and
- when the history indicates that the first user device wirelessly connected with the particular base station and no other base station within a second threshold period of time, commanding the first user device to bypass the mobility measurement.
