Self-organising comprehensive handover strategy for multi-tier LTE-advanced heterogeneous networks
Long term evolution (LTE)-advanced was introduced as real fourth generation (4G) with its new features and additional functions, satisfying the growing demands of quality and network coverage for the network operators' subscribers. The term muti-tier has also been recently used with respect to the heterogeneity of the network by applying the various subnetwork cooperative systems and functionalities with self-organising capabilities. Using indoor short-range low-power cellular base stations, for example, femtocells, in cooperation with existing long-range macrocells are considered as the key technical challenge of this multi-tier configuration. Furthermore, shortage of network spectrum is a major concern for network operators which forces them to spend additional attentions to overcome the degradation in performance and quality of services in 4G HetNets. This study investigates handover between the different layers of a heterogeneous LTE-advanced system, as a critical attribute to plan the best way of interactive coordination within the network for the proposed HetNet. The proposed comprehensive handover algorithm takes multiple factors in both handover sensing and decision stages, based on signal power reception, resource availability and handover optimisation, as well as prioritisation among macro and femto stations, to obtain maximum signal quality while avoiding unnecessary handovers
Parametric Estimation of Handoff
The efficiency of wireless technology depends upon the seamless connectivity
to the user at anywhere any time.Heterogeneous wireless networks are an
integration of different networks with diversified technologies. The most
essential requirement for Seamless vertical handover is that the received
signal strength should always be healthy. Mobile device enabled with multiple
wireless technologies makes it possible to maintain seamless connectivity in
highly dynamic environment.Since the available bandwidth is limited and the
number of users is growing rapidly, it is a real challenge to maintain the
received signal strength in a healthy stage.In this work, the proposed, cost
effective parametric estimation for vertical handover shows that the received
signal strength maintains a healthy level by considering the novel concept.Comment: 5 Pages,3 figures, NCCCS-12,ISBN:978-1-4673-2837-
