Abstract: A system and method for improving connection reliability while navigating in cellular networks. Historical received by vehicles navigating within a cellular network are analyzed in order to create a signal propagation model. The cellular network is distributed across a geographic area including multiple cells, where each cell is a subdivision of the geographic area. The historical signals are received from transceivers deployed the cellular network. Based on the signal propagation model and an expected navigation path of the vehicle, a subset of transceivers within the cellular network is determined. The subset of transceivers is used for making selections about which transceivers the vehicle should communicate with, for example by transmitting the subset of transceivers to a system responsible for selecting which transceiver communicates with a given vehicle such that the system selects which transceiver to use from among the subset of transceivers.
