Title
Signalling Cost Evaluation of Handover Management Schemes in LTE-Advanced Femtocell
Abstract
Femtocell is a small access point using the wire broadband connections or wireless technologies to access the mobile operator's network for the user equipment(UE), which can provide better indoor coverage and satisfy the upcoming demand of high data rate for wireless communication system.Femtocell related handover cost reduction is one of the important targets in LTE-Advanced SON (Self-Organising Networks). In this paper, a handover optimization algorithm based on the UE's mobility state is proposed. An analytical model was presented for the handover signalling cost analysis. Numerical results are provided to compare the signalling cost of different handover management schemes. The comparison between the proposed algorithm and the traditional handover control algorithm shows that the algorithms proposed in this paper have a significant reduction in the signalling overhead.
