Combining Position Location Information and Network Performance Data for Simulating Location Aided Handover

چکیده
Position location of mobile terminals is one of the most challenging issues nowadays. Apart from the large number of value added services that can be offered to the users, network support is one of the most useful applications for the cellular operators. The information used for positioning can be evaluated locally, so that the operator can enhance the networks performance without requiring user related information. In existing cellular systems one of the procedures that seems to cause serious network shortcomings is handover. This procedure is much more complicated in next generation systems (UMTS) and is of great interest for investigation and optimization. In this paper we have presented the structure of the LAH simulator. This simulator is a powerful platform to study cellular network procedures that are strongly related with the user location. This simulation platform will be used to prove the add-on of localization to the handover procedure.
