Abstract: A communication system includes a central cloud server and a processor that periodically obtains sensing information from an edge device that is in motion at a travel path. The processor predicts formed whether an existing cellular connectivity of the edge device is about to become less than a threshold performance value, based on the obtained sensing information. If the existing cellular connectivity of the edge device is about to become less than the threshold performance value, an alternative wireless connectivity option is triggered at the edge device bypassing an initial access-search at the edge device to maintain the cellular connectivity.
