Abstract

An apparatus of a wireless device, such as a user equipment (UE), can include processing circuitry configured to perform one or more of the handover-related techniques disclosed herein. For example, when associated with moving with a plurality of mobile devices from coverage of a first cell to a second cell, the processing circuitry can detect the second cell. One or more parameters of the second cell can be measured. The one or more parameters can be communicated to one or more other mobile devices of the plurality of mobile devices.

Claims18

Dependent claims

An apparatus of a base station, the apparatus comprising:

memory;
and processing circuitry coupled to the memory, the processing circuitry to:
identify a swarm of mobile devices wirelessly connected to the base station via a first cell, wherein a plurality of mobile devices of the swarm are adjacent to one or more other mobile devices of the swarm;
assign an identifier to each of the mobile devices of the swarm;
assign a swarm identifier to the swarm;
and
initiate a handover of the plurality of mobile devices of the swarm, based on a handover request received from one of the mobile devices of the swarm, the handover request including the swarm identifier.
