Ai/ml based mobility related prediction for handover

An apparatus for wireless communication at a target network node, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and, based at least in part on information stored in the memory, the at least one processor is configured to:
• receive a handover request to handover a user equipment (UE) from a source network node;
• obtain at least one mobility related prediction associated with the UE or the target network node, the at least one mobility related prediction being derived by at least one neural network;
• and
• output for transmission a handover request acknowledgement (ACK), the handover request ACK based at least in part on the at least one mobility related prediction.

An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and, based at least in part on information stored in the memory, the at least one processor is configured to:
• obtain at least one mobility related prediction associated with the UE or at least one target network node, the at least one mobility related prediction being derived by at least one neural network;
• and
• switch from a source network node to a first target network node of the at least one target network node, the first target network node associated with a target resource configuration based on the at least one mobility related prediction.
