Preemptive mobile device handoff due to grant suspension in a Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) network

A system, comprising:

• a traffic distribution system configured to:
• store a list of base stations, each with an associated wireless coverage area;
• receive a shared spectrum suspension for a Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) device (CBSD);
• analyze data received for a mobile device being serviced by a suspended CBSD and data received for one or more neighbor base stations to determine an alternative base station for the mobile device, wherein the one or more neighbor base stations are selected from the list of base stations based on the suspended CBSD and the data received for the mobile device;
• and
• transmit, to a core network, the alternative base station to initiate a transfer of the mobile device from the suspended CBSD to the alternative base station prior to the mobile device losing service from the suspended CBSD.

A method for preemptive handoff in a wireless network using Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) spectrum, the method comprising:

• storing, by a traffic distribution system, a list of base stations, each with an associated wireless coverage area;
• receiving, by the traffic distribution system, a shared spectrum suspension for a Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) device (CBSD);
• analyzing, by the traffic distribution system, data received for a mobile device being serviced by a suspended CBSD and data received for one or more neighbor base stations to determine an alternative base station for the mobile device, wherein the one or more neighbor base stations are selected from the list of base stations based on the suspended CBSD and the data received for the mobile device;
• and
• transmitting, to a core network, the alternative base station to initiate a transfer of the mobile device from the suspended CBSD to the alternative base station prior to the mobile device losing service from the suspended CBSD.
