Handover is a very important process in any mobile communication network because it allows the call continuation with high mobility and to supply Quality of Service (QoS) to the users.However the handover increases the signaling load in the network and increase the mobile battery consumption.Location based service offered a great opportunity for application development in the mobile field.In this paper Location-Based Knowledge Handover Optimization algorithm (LBKHO) is proposed, the location based knowledge is used to improve the network performance by reducing the number of handover request, which reduces the signaling load in the network.From our the simulation results show that the proposed algorithm (LBKHO) has reduced the number of handover requests and the number of failed handovers, and when compared with the model (Adaptive Handover Initialization Region) proposed in a previous study, found that requests for handover in the proposed in our algorithm much less.Which reduces the signaling load in the network so that network performance can be improved.
