초록
In a heterogeneous network (HetNet) with ultra-dense small-cell deployment, fast-moving users may experience frequent handovers between small cells owing to the small coverage areas of those cells. Moreover, due to shadowing and channel fading, static or slow-moving users can also experience frequent handovers, called ping-pongs. Such redundant handovers are unacceptable, and can cause packet losses or packet delays leading to a poor user experience. To solve these unwanted handover problems, we propose a frequent handover mitigation algorithm for ultra-dense HetNets. Based on mobility behavior, the proposed algorithm categorizes frequent handover-experience users as either fast-moving or ping-pong users. Fast-moving users are then handed over to the macro layer, and ping-pong users are managed by adjustment of handover parameters. However, if ping-pongs cannot be avoided through handover-parameter adjustment, ping-pong users are handed over to the macro layer as well. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can reduce 79.56% of the overall handovers, and increase network throughput by 10.82%.
