This paper evaluates the hard handover performance for UTRAN LTE system. The focus is
on the impact that received signal strength based hard handover algorithm have on the …

Handover is one of the key functionalities which tries to keep a user equipment (UE)
connected to the best base station (eNodeB). Handover is usually based on the downlink …

Intra-frequency handover is an important RRM procedure in LTE and the (self-) optimization
of its performance, in terms of handover reliability and handover frequency, has been …

The 3GPP UTRAN Long Term Evolution (LTE) system utilizes packet based architecture with
distributed mobility management, where the E-UTRANNode-B (eNB) takes the responsibility …

Handover procedure in LTE/LTE-A has been radically evolved when compared to the
previous 3GPP standards. In particular, X2 handover is introduced to allow neighboring …

A novel approach to handover management for Long-Term Evolution (LTE) femtocells is
presented. Within LTE, the use of self-organizing networks (SONs) is included as standard …

Soft handover (HO) is becoming quite important because of its suitability for CDMA based
systems. Soft handover promises better performance than hard handover. The two most well …

Velocity has a non-neglectable influence on the handover delay experienced by a user if the
handover is triggered on a radiosignal-measurement (RSM) based handover scheme …

Mobility enhancement and carrier aggregation are important aspects to investigate as part of
the LTE-Advanced study. Hard handover is the only handover scheme in LTE Rel-8 …

The 3GPP LTE system has been designed to offer significantly higher data rates, higher
system throughput, and lower latency for delay critical services. This improved performance …
