Velocity adaptive handoff algorithms for microcellular systems
Mark D. Austin, Gordon L. Stüber · IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology · 1994
Fast velocity adaptive handoff algorithms for microcellular systems capable of providing consistent and near optimal performance are presented and characterized. Guidelines are first developed for the amount of spatial averaging required for local mean estimation in microcellular systems. Afterwards, three different velocity estimators are introduced and compared with respect to their sensitivity to Rice factors, non-isotropic scattering, additive Gaussian noise, and performance in a adaptive handoff algorithm.>
