Mobility-aware access control

A network node, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to:
• obtain first mobility state information corresponding to a first cell and third mobility state information corresponding to a wireless device in a network;
• determine whether to initiate a handover procedure to hand over the wireless device from the first cell to a second cell based on the first mobility state information, the third mobility state information, and a first signal strength between the wireless device and the first cell being weaker than a second signal strength between the wireless device and the second cell;
• and
• perform one or more actions based on the determination, wherein:
• to determine whether to initiate the handover procedure, the processor is configured to determine, based on the first mobility state information, the third mobility state information, and the first signal strength being weaker than the second signal strength, that the first cell is suitable for the wireless device;
• and
• to perform the one or more actions comprises, the processor is configured to determine not to initiate the handover procedure to hand over the wireless device from the first cell to the second cell based on the determination that the first cell is suitable for the wireless device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium, comprising:

• instructions that, when executed by a processor of a network node, cause the network node to:
• obtain first mobility state information corresponding to a first cell and third mobility state information corresponding to a wireless device in a network;
• determine whether to initiate a handover procedure to hand over the wireless device from the first cell to a second cell based on the first mobility state information, the third mobility state information, and a first signal strength between the wireless device and the first cell being weaker than a second signal strength between the wireless device and the second cell;
• and
• perform one or more actions based on the determination, wherein:
• to determine whether to initiate the handover procedure, the instructions cause the network node to determine, based on the first mobility state information, the third mobility state information, and the first signal strength being weaker than the second signal strength, that the first cell is suitable for the wireless device;
• and
• to perform the one or more actions comprise, the instructions cause the network node to determine not to initiate the handover procedure to hand over the wireless device from the first cell to the second cell based on the determination that the first cell is suitable for the wireless device.

A network node for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for obtaining first mobility state information corresponding to a first cell and third mobility state information corresponding to a wireless device in a network;
• means for determining whether to initiate a handover procedure to hand over the wireless device from the first cell to a second cell based on the first mobility state information, the third mobility state information, and a first signal strength between the wireless device and the first cell being weaker than a second signal strength between the wireless device and the second cell, wherein the means for determining whether to initiate a handover procedure further comprise means for determining, based on the first mobility state information, the third mobility state information, and the first signal strength being weaker than the second signal strength, that the first cell is suitable for the wireless device;
• and
• means for performing one or more actions based on the determination, wherein the means for performing the one or more actions comprise means for determining not to initiate the handover procedure to hand over the wireless device from the first cell to the second cell based on the determination that the first cell is suitable for the wireless device.
