Handover optimization based on ue mobility prediction

Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine one or more candidate base stations for a handover procedure for the UE. The UE may transmit an indication of the one or more candidate base stations to a serving base station. Numerous other aspects are provided.
