Adaptive Techniques for Elimination of Redundant Handovers in Femtocells
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dense deployment of femtocells in mobile wireless networks can significantly increase the amount of handover initiations. This paper analyzes new approach to elimination of redundant handovers. The innovative way dynamically updates current value of techniques commonly used for elimination of redundant handovers. The goal is to investigate the efficiency of two handover elimination techniques, i.e., windowing and handover delay timer. Both techniques are modified to enable adaptation of their parameter according to the channel quality related to the users' position in the cell. Furthermore, the impact of proposed modifications on the user’s throughput is examined. All simulations are performed in scenario of 4G networks with femtocells. The results show no benefit of adaptive windowing comparing to conventional one. However, the performance improvement is achieved by adaptation of the handover delay timer.

متن کاملElimination of Hard-Nonlinearities Destructive Effects in Control Systems Using Approximate Techniques
Many of the physical phenomena, like friction, backlash, drag, and etc., which appear in mechanical systems are inherently nonlinear and have destructive effects on the control systems behavior. Generally, they are modeled by hard nonlinearities. In this paper, two different methods are proposed to cope with the effects of hard nonlinearities which exist in friction various models. Simple inver...
