HANDOVER MANAGEMENT IN AIR-TO-GROUND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION
First Claim
1. A method of managing handover procedures of two or more modems from a serving base station to a target base station, the method comprising:
- receiving at least one message indicative of at least one measurement report of radio conditions from at least one modem of the two or more modems;
determining, based on the at least one message, whether to handover the two or more modems from the serving base station to the target base station; and
upon determining to handover the two or more modems from the serving base station to the target base station, indicating to each of the two or more modems to send to the serving base station a measurement report configured to trigger a respective handover procedure from the serving base station to the target base station.

19. An apparatus for managing handover procedures of two or more modems from a serving base station to a target base station, the apparatus comprising:
-
a handover management component configured to receive at least one message indicative of at least one measurement report of radio conditions from at least one modem of the two or more modems; and a handover deciding component configured to determine, based on the at least one message, whether to handover the two or more modems from the serving base station to the target base station; wherein the handover deciding component is further configured to, upon determining to handover the two or more modems from the serving base station to the target base station, indicate to each of the two or more modems to send to the serving base station a measurement report configured to trigger a respective handover procedure from the serving base station to the target base station. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
