Introduction to a New Performance Factor of Soft Handoff for Real-Time Streaming Services
Y.-u. CHUNG, D.-H. CHO · IEICE Transactions on Communications · 2006
We describe a new characteristic of soft handoff, call failure when a mobile moves from the handoff region to the normal region, and introduce the metric of region-transition failure probability to more accurately assess the performance of CDMA systems that support real-time video streaming services. This characteristic has not been considered in previous research. Simulations show that this failure must be considered since it significantly degrades system performance.
