Original Abstract Submitted

aspects of the disclosure relate to a mobility protocol for nb-iot networks. a mobility protocol device may monitor a wireless data connection between the device and a first nb-iot node. the device may compare a connection strength of the wireless data connection to a threshold value. based on identifying that the connection strength is below the threshold value, the device may generate a connection transfer request packet. the device may send the connection transfer request packet to one or more nb-iot nodes based on a preferred connections list. the device may generate, based on receiving a determination result from a second nb-iot node indicating the second nb-iot node will accept a connection, an acknowledgment packet. the acknowledgment packet may be configured to establish the connection with the second nb-iot node. based on the acknowledgment packet, the device may cause the first nb-iot node to transfer the wireless data connection to the second nb-iot node.
