A New Inter-group Handoff Scheme in Micro/Pico Cellular System using Optical Fiber Feeder

  • Published : 2005.03.01

Abstract

To solve the cost problem of micro/picocell system, the fiber-optic cellular system was proposed. In this system, all channel elements are managed in Central Station, not in each base station. Also, all channel elements in a system can be dynamically assigned when the Spectrum Delivery Switch (SDS) is used. In this paper, we propose and analyze a new intergroup handoff scheme in the fiber-optic cellular system. The proposed scheme supports handoff with keeping current channel. Performance is evaluated with respect to the blocking probability and the handoff refused probability in both systems with SDS and without SDS. The numerical results show that the proposed scheme provides better performance than conventional soft handoff scheme.
