US Patent 12108468 Cell selection management for airborne mobile stations

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for facilitating optimized cell selection for airborne user devices, such as wirelessly connected unmanned aerial vehicles. One or more synchronization signals may be modified to include one or more parameters that would improve airborne cell selection, including radiation center height, vertical beamwidth, horizontal beamwidth and frequency band availability. By optimizing cell selection and therefore reducing unnecessary handovers, the airborne user device will spend less battery power and processing resources, improving overall performance.
