R. Verdone et A. Zanella, HANDOVER ALGORITHM TO COUNTERACT CORNER EFFECTS IN MICROCELLULAR MOBILE NETWORKS, Electronics Letters, 34(10), 1998, pp. 950-951
A new handover algorithms suitable for implementation in modern cellul
ar mobile radio systems, such as GSM or UMTs, is proposed and its perf
ormance assessed. The algorithm is based on the gradient of measured p
ower values. Both the uplink and the downlink measurements are conside
red. The simulation results show a performance improvements with respe
ct to traditional algorithms.
