Handoff strategies in microcellular systems
O. Grimlund, Björn Gudmundson · 2002
Plausible strategies and algorithms for microcellular handoff are examined. Attention is given to such issues as propagation characteristics, C/I (carrier/interference) distribution, and handoff performance in a microcellular system. Some examples from real measurements in central Stockholm are shown, and a brief description of propagation models used in handoff simulations is presented. The handoff strategies for some contemporary systems are reviewed, and some results from simulations of mobile assisted handoff (MAHO) are shown.>
