Zusammenfassung:	Technologies for efficient handover in 5G networks are disclosed. An example method includes responsive to detecting that a user device is located in a geographic area with overlapping 5G coverage from a first gNB and a second gNB and that the user device is moving away from the first gNB's coverage toward the second gNB's coverage, determining to perform a light inter-gNB handover of the user device, and causing execution of the light inter-gNB handover by at least causing a physical switch from a physical CU-CP of the first gNB to a physical CU-CP of the second gNB, a logical switch from a logical CU-UP of the first gNB to a logical CU-UP of the second gNB, a logical switch from a logical DU of the first gNB to a logical DU of the second gBN, and a logical switch from a logical RU of the first gNB to a logical RU of the second gBN, wherein the logical switches are performed without transfer of context data associated with the user device.
