Proposed Mobile Controlled Handoff (MCHO) in 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) system

Abstract

LTE is a standard for wireless communication of high speed data rates, higher system throughput and lower latency for delay critical services. Basically belongs to 3GPP family and is based upon GSM and UMTS network technologies. Proper Handoff (HO) algorithm can make the system increased capacity, better coverage requirements. A new Handoff (HO) algorithm in LTE networks based on MCHO is being proposed in this paper for the improvement of performance in a fading environment based on cost-231 Walfisch Ikegami Model. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
