In this paper, we analyze the sensitivity of handover initiation algorithm to path loss
exponent. The effect of the propagating model parameters on both the mean number of …

Handover initiation algorithms in cellular networks are generally based on signal strength
measurements. Handover rate and handover initiation delay are commonly used as metrics …

In this study, an adaptive handoff algorithm with a dynamic hysteresis value, based on the
distance between the mobile station and the serving base station, is proposed for cellular …

Statistical models for handover scenarios are necessary in order to identify key parameters
and to allow proper benchmarking for handover techniques. This is quite a difficult task …

In this paper, we propose a new empirical formula for handover rate as a function of base
stations separation, standard deviation of shadow fading, path loss exponent, averaging …

In this study, we propose an adaptive handoff scheme with dynamic hysteresis value for
cellular communications, which is based on distance between the mobile station and the …

In this study, we propose an adaptive handoff scheme with dynamic hysteresis value for
cellular communications, which is based on distance between the mobile station and the …

The integration of various cellular networks; wireless Local Area Networks, Worldwide
interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), Long Term Evolution (LTE), mobile ad-hoc …

In most of the wireless networks, signal strength is considered as the basic criteria to initiate
handover. In future generation heterogeneous wireless systems, the vertical handover …

Mobility is the most important feature of a wireless cellular communication system. Handoff,
the process of changing the channel associated with the current connection while a call is in …
