Queueing of handover requests in microcell network architectures

A urban cellular system providing a mixed coverage has been simulated, aiming at a proper trade-off between network capacity and probability of handover failure. In particular a single macrocell has been overlaid to a four-cluster microcell coverage, according to a hierarchical architecture. The sys...

Description
Summary:A urban cellular system providing a mixed coverage has been simulated, aiming at a proper trade-off between network capacity and probability of handover failure. In particular a single macrocell has been overlaid to a four-cluster microcell coverage, according to a hierarchical architecture. The system has been investigated in terms of handover performance, achieving a benefit from both handover requests at reserved channels for the overflow handover traffic at macrocell level.< >
