A method for managing a wireless connection of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is described herein. The method may include detecting a handover condition for the UAV within a wireless network, wherein the UAV is connected to a source cell in the wireless network when the handover condition is detected; determining, in response to detecting the handover condition, a target cell in the wireless network based on a flight path of the UAV; and initiating a handover of the UAV from the source cell to the target cell.
