Using dynamic thresholds for non-mobility handovers in a fifth generation (5G) or other next generation network

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
• identifying a first performance characteristic of first base station equipment, wherein the first base station equipment is actively communicating with a user equipment via a first network connection,
• receiving, from the first base station equipment, a predicted benefit to the user equipment of a handover to a second network connection with second base station equipment, wherein the predicted benefit was predicted by the first base station equipment based on analyzing a source base station utilization value for the first base station equipment, wherein the first performance characteristic comprises the source base station utilization value, and wherein the predicted benefit comprises a change in throughput for communication by the user equipment,
• identifying, for the second base station equipment, a second threshold and a second performance characteristic of the second base station equipment,
• based on the first performance characteristic being in a condition in relation to a first threshold, the predicted benefit, the second performance characteristic being in the condition in relation to the second threshold, resulting in a handover determination, and
• based on the handover determination, executing the handover of the user equipment to the second network connection.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

• identifying a first performance characteristic of first base station equipment, wherein the first base station equipment is actively communicating with a user equipment via a first network connection;
• receiving, from the first base station equipment, a predicted benefit to the user equipment of a handover to a second network connection with second base station equipment, wherein the predicted benefit was predicted by the first base station equipment based on analyzing a source base station utilization value for the first base station equipment, wherein the first performance characteristic comprises the source base station utilization value, and wherein the predicted benefit comprises a change in throughput for communication by the user equipment;
• identifying, for the second base station equipment, a second threshold and a second performance characteristic of the second base station equipment;
• based on the first performance characteristic being in a condition in relation to a first threshold, the predicted benefit, and the second performance characteristic being in the condition in relation to the second threshold, determining, by the system, to execute the handover of the user equipment to the second network connection, resulting in a handover determination;
• and
• based on the handover determination, executing the handover of the user equipment to the second network connection.
