TL;DR: A seamless mobility management approach that does not require changes to existing network infrastructure is presented and the novelty of the proposed approach is that mobility management is fully controlled by the terminal, and network selection is user-centric, power-saving, cost-aware, and performance-aware.
Abstract: The coexistence of multiple access technologies deployed by different operators is fundamental for future fourth-generation mobile networks. In spite of this heterogeneity, seamless interoperator/intersystem mobility is a mandatory requirement. In this article we present a seamless mobility management approach that does not require changes to existing network infrastructure. The novelty of the proposed approach is that mobility management is fully controlled by the terminal, and network selection is user-centric, power-saving, cost-aware, and performance-aware. Total mobility management, including interface management, handover decision, and execution, is also detailed

TL;DR: In this article, a small-size instrument for an asynchronous DS-CDMA cellular system is presented, which detects the correlation between the received signal and the short code of the control channel, and matched filter 22 detects the maximum electric power correlation peak location.
Abstract: The present invention realizes a rapid and efficient cell search and small-size instrument for an asynchronous DS-CDMA cellular system. This cell search detects the correlation between the received signal and the short code of the control channel, and matched filter 22 detects the maximum electric power correlation peak location. Next, using correlators 28-1 to 28-n which are parallelly set in a plurality for RAKE processing with plurality, identifies the long code that is set in the system with the detected long code timing. After the long code is synchronized, a multipath signal is received using 28-1 to 28-n, and the data is judged by RAKE processing. When peripheral cell search is executed, after long code timing is detected by using matched filter 22, the long code of the candidate peripheral cell is designated using the same matched filter. Handover is safely realized by receiving the signal from the connected base station by correlators 28-1 to 28-n, and the base station signal through handover by 22.

22 Feb 2002TL;DR: In this article, a method and apparatus for scheduling transmit rates and power levels for data in conjunction with a voice-data communication during conditions of soft and softer handoff is presented.
Abstract: A method and apparatus for scheduling transmit rates and power levels for data in conjunction with a voice-data communication during conditions of soft and softer handoff. During conditions of no handoff, or hard handoff, an algorithm selects a slot reflecting a favored power level and transmission rate for transmitting the non-voice data on a supplemental channel. The slot is selected based upon the transmission power levels for voice-data transmitted by a base station to a remote station on a fundamental channel. The algorithm applies to softer handoff using information from all the sectors of a base station involved in the softer handoff. During soft handoff, instead of scheduling forward link transmission based on recent power and rate, or C/I information, data is continuously transmitted to the user at a power level based on average required power.

15 May 2011TL;DR: A handover optimization algorithm based on the UE's mobility state is proposed and the comparison between the proposed algorithm and the traditional handover control algorithm shows that the algorithms proposed have aSignalling overhead reduction in the signalling overhead.
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.
