Patent attributes
A network device such as an evolved NodeB (eNB) or next generation NodeB (gNB) can configure a set of user equipment (UE) to identify high speed train (HST) cell or high speed rail (HSR) dedicated longer term evolution (LTE) (HSDN) cells associated with a train or train station from a public LTE network. A UE can perform selection/reselection/handover operations to the HST LTE network cells with a higher priority based on various criteria, including a high mobility state of the UE, a marker, a cell ID, a measurement report comparison, or a location. Mobility state estimation of an HSDN cell can be based on a weight broadcast in a system information or system information block (SIB) of HSDN cell. A network load can further be considered in order to better serve high speed rail network conditions for users.
