Systems and methods of predictive handoff

A predictive handoff system for user equipment, comprising:

• a connected network site, including:
• a user equipment communication module configured to monitor a signal quality of a signal between a user equipment and the connected network site and to receive movement information from the user equipment;
• a handoff module configured to:
• evaluate the signal quality of the connected network site;
• analyze a potential signal quality of a signal response for each of multiple networks sites within a network map, the network map including the multiple network sites that are nearby or surrounding the user equipment or the current network site;
• identify a potential network site of the multiple network sites based on the analysis of the potential signal quality of the signal response for each of the multiple network sites in the network map;
• select the potential network site for a handoff based on the analysis of the potential signal quality and a characteristic or parameter of the network;
• generate an instruction to initiate the handoff of the user equipment to the selected potential network site based on the analysis of the potential signal quality and a characteristic or parameter of the network,
• a network site communication module configured to transmit the instruction to initiate the handoff of the user equipment over a communication pathway that is unusable by or inaccessible to the user equipment;
• and
• a potential network site, including:
• a network site communication module configured to receive the instruction from the connected network site over the communication pathway, the instruction causing the selected potential network site to initiate the handoff of the user equipment to the selected potential network site,
• wherein, based on the transmitted instruction to initiate the handoff of the user equipment to the selected potential network site, the selected potential network site is further configured to output the handoff instruction to the user equipment to initiate the handoff of the user equipment to the selected potential network site.
