For home-service robots one of the most common interactions with humans is the handing over of objects using arms and hands of anthropomorphic robots. We propose advanced methods of determination of grasp sites for handover operations that incorporate especially etiquettes which factors include object shapes, object functions, and safety. We also address different operations for handover: one-h...

| Handover control of indoor pico-cellular radio systems becomes unstable due to severe mul-tipath fading in buildings. The previously proposed decision-avoided handover algorithm can greatly improve the robustness of indoor handover control. This paper analyzes soft handover control algorithms for indoor DS-CDMA systems. The soft handover algorithm exhibits the same robustness as the decision-...

Long Term Evaluation is a wireless communication system which was developed by 3rd Generation Partnership Project to achieve high network capacity and high spectral efficiency. Prediction of handover and deciding of handover in long term evolution systems is very complicated. Adjusting the parameters to achieve less delay in the handover then we have to compromise with the system performance an...

BACKGROUND Safe and effective patient handovers remain a global organisational and training challenge. Limited evidence supports available handover training programmes. Customisable training is a promising approach to improve the quality and sustainability of handover training and outcomes. OBJECTIVE We present a Handover Toolbox designed in the context of the European HANDOVER Project. The T...

BACKGROUND Novel research has revealed that the relative risk of death increased by 10% and 15% for admissions on a Saturday and Sunday, respectively. With an imminent threat of 7-day services in the National Health Service, including weekend operating lists, handover plays a pivotal role in ensuring patient safety is paramount. This audit evaluated the quality, efficiency, and safety of surgic...

Mobile Ethernet is one of mobility management architectures for integrating future heterogeneous wireless systems. This paper describes the virtual MAC address scheme on Mobile Ethernet and gives qualitative comparison of Mobile Ethernet architecture with other mobility supports. For a quantitative analysis, we give an analytical network model through a Markovian model. To evaluate the handover...

“Handover” is one of the techniques used to achieve the service continuity in Fourth generation wireless networks (FGWNs). Seamless continuity is the main goal in fourth generation Wireless networks (FGWNs), when a mobile terminal (MT) is in overlapping area for service continuity Handover mechanism are mainly used While moving in the heterogeneous wireless networks continual connection is the ...

In this paper the multiple challenges for handovers in hybrid networks are discussed. Based on that a location-based handover for hybrid networks is evaluated. The handover takes into consideration the increased handover preparation time in hybrid networks, coming from the use of different air interfaces and the interoperation of different network providers. Also the security of the connection ...

Fast handover for Proxy Mobile IPv6 (FPMIPv6) can reduce handover delay and packet loss compared with Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6). However, FPMIPv6 still cannot handle heterogeneous handovers due to the lack of unified Layer 2 triggering mechanism along with the booming of emerging wireless technologies. Media Independent Handover (MIH) can provide heterogeneous handover support, and a lot of in...

User mobility and handover are two important functions in mobile networks that provide seamless connectivity of user when moving from one cell to another cell. Hence, handover and its performance are of high importance to improve the performance of mobile networks. In this study, we present a technical overview of mobility and handover management of 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) and beyond mob...
