As the railway industry expands and trains speed-up, the reliability and efficiency of wireless communication systems in high-speed railway have to face the severe challenges. The high-speed brings about more severe Doppler effect, the postponement of handover triggering location and more frequent handover. Therefore the influence caused by the high-speed decreases the reliability of wireless communication network. In this study, considering the decision of ‘global system for mobile communication for railway’ evolution to long-term evolution for railway (LTE-R) by International Union of Railways, a scheme based on the beamforming and positioning information is proposed to improve the system handover performance for the LTE system which is being applied to the high-speed railway. In the overlapping region, both the current serving eNodeB and the target eNodeB start to use beamforming with different …
