Abstract:

For the dense macro-femto coexistence networks scenario, a long-term-based handover(LTBH)algorithm is proposed. The handover decision algorithm is jointly determined by the angle of handover(AHO)and the time-to-stay(TTS)to reduce the unnecessary handover numbers. First, the proposed AHO parameter is used to decrease the computation complexity in multiple candidate base stations(CBSs)scenario. Then, two types of TTS parameters are given for the fixed base stations and mobile base stations to make handover decisions among multiple CBSs. The simulation results show that the proposed LTBH algorithm can not only maintain the required transmission rate of users, but also effectively reduce the unnecessary numbers of handover in the dense macro-femto networks with the coexisting mobile BSs.
