Abstract
Methods and apparatus that facilitate predictive hard and soft handover are presented herein. A measurement component can measure signal strength data associated with a source cell and one or more target cells. One or more linear regression lines can be computed based on the signal strength data. Rates of at least one of an increase or a decrease in the signal strength data per unit of time can be determined based on a slope of the one or more linear regression lines—the slope can comprise a change in signal strength data per unit of time. A time to trigger at least one of a hard or soft handover can be triggered based on the rates.
