Cell Selection with Estimation of Time-of-Stay for Multitier Heterogeneous Mobile Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
A handover (HO) is an important procedure used to maintain connectivity in mobile networks. Nevertheless, it is not sufficient when a user equipment associates with a certain base station for a very short period. In this letter, we propose an estimated time-of-stay-based cell selection (ETCS) scheme to minimize the number of unnecessary HOs that adversely affect the performance of heterogeneous mobile networks. We analyzed the performance of the proposed ETCS scheme and compared it with that of the conventional cell selection scheme. The results show that the ETCS scheme significantly reduces the number of unnecessary HOs. Therefore, we can expect reduced network overhead for system information acquisitions, HO preparations, and mobility managements using the proposed scheme.

The Intermational Mobile Telecommunications IMT-2000 system uses a microcell concept to provide multimedia services and to support increasing number of users. However, in a microcell system, the number of handoffs is greatly increased. To solve this problem, a multitier cellular structure is proposed, in which high-speed mobile terminals (MTs) are serviced in macrocell and low-speed MTs are ser...

Due to the increasing use of wireless communications, infrastructure-less networks such as Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) should be highly considered. DTN is most suitable where there is an intermittent connection between communicating nodes such as wireless mobile ad hoc network nodes. In general, a message sending node in DTN copies the message and transmits it to nodes which it encounters. A...

Always best connected services (ABC) allow multimode mobile terminals to stay connected to the best available networks, at anytime according to user preferences. One of the key aspects in realizing such ABC service is mainly attributed to an effective and dynamic access network selection process. However, most of the previous works consider the access network selection process as a static optim...
