Handover processing between communication networks

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a user equipment (UE), first diagnostic information associated with a first communication network, wherein the first diagnostic information includes:
• first data defining a first reference signals received power (RSRP) value;
• and
• second data defining a first received signal strength indicator (RSSI) value;
• defining a first ping-pong timer value for the first communication network based on the first diagnostic information;
• determining to perform a first handover from the first communication network to a second communication network in response to:
• the first RSRP value being at least less than a first threshold;
• the first RSSI value being at least greater than a second threshold;
• and
• the first ping-pong timer value having expired;
• receiving, by the UE, second diagnostic information associated with a second communication network, wherein the second diagnostic information includes:
• third data defining a second RSRP;
• and
• fourth data defining a second RSSI;
• defining a second ping-pong timer value for the second communication network based on the second diagnostic information;
• determining to perform a third handover from the second communication network to the first communication network in response to:
• the second RSRP being at least greater than a third threshold, the third threshold different than the first threshold;
• the second RSSI being at least less than a fourth threshold;
• the second RSRP being at least greater than the first threshold;
• and
• the second ping-pong timer value having expired.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform operations, comprising:

• receiving, by a user equipment (UE), first diagnostic information associated with a first communication network, wherein the first diagnostic information includes:
• first data defining a first reference signals received power (RSRP) of a first communication network;
• and
• second data defining a first received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of a second communication network;
• defining a first ping-pong timer value for the first communication network based on the RSRP;
• performing a first handover from the first communication network to the second communication network in response to:
• the RSRP being at least less than a first threshold;
• the RSSI being at least greater than a second threshold;
• and
• the first ping-pong timer value having expired;
• receiving, by the UE, second diagnostic information associated with a second communication network, wherein the second diagnostic information includes:
• third data defining a second RSRP of the first communication network;
• and
• fourth data defining a second RSSI of the second communication network;
• defining a second ping-pong timer value for the second communication network based on the second RSSI;
• and
• performing a second handover from the second communication network to the first communication network in response to:
• the second RSRP being at least greater than a third threshold;
• the second RSSI being at least less than a fourth threshold;
• the second RSRP being at least greater than the first threshold;
• and
• the second ping-pong timer value having expired.
