In this paper, we propose a probabilistic handover scheme for enhancing spectral efficiency in drone-based wireless communication systems. When a moving drone base station (DBS) provides the drone-based wireless communication service to a user equipment (UE) located on the ground, our proposed handover scheme considers the distance between DBS and UE and small scale fading. In addition, our proposed handover scheme considers a handover probability to mitigate the signalling overhead that may occur when performing frequent handovers. Through simulations for drone-based wireless communication systems, we evaluate the spectral efficiency and the handover probability of our proposed handover scheme and the conventional handover scheme. The simulation results show that our proposed handover scheme can achieve higher average spectral efficiency than the conventional handover scheme which considers only the distance between DBS and UE.

In this paper, we propose the new Cellular Ethernet System that supports faster handovers than IP layer handover scheme for WiBro Networks and analyze the performance of the proposed scheme. In WiBro Networks, it is very important for service providers that supports fast handovers for mobile users who want superior service. But in case of Mobile IPv6, which supports IP layer handovers, there exists very long latency for detecting movement and duplicated IP address. And besides, handovers in wired area must be carried out after completing handovers in wireless area. So, Mobile IPv6 cannot provide superior service to mobile users. To remedy these problems, we here propose the new Cellular Ethernet System that consists of MAC layer bridges for WiBro Networks and analyze the performance of Cellular Ethernet System handover scheme and show that it has better performance than Mobile IPv6.

Mobile IPv6 is the representative standard protocol proposed to offer mobility of mobile hosts, but it has drawbacks such as high handover latency and packet loss during handover. To complement these drawbacks, several protocols have been proposed and they can support faster handover than the Mobile IPv6, but there still exists inevitable packet loss during handover in those protocols. In this paper, we propose a new handover procedure of mobile host who has a dual link for minimizing packet loss rate during micro handover to improve mobility capability of Cellular Ethernet system that supports mobility at layer 2. And we derive the superiority of proposed scheme by comparing in terms of packet loss rate, handover latency and throughput of proposed scheme with those of Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 which is the representative IP-layer micro mobility protocol by simulation.

Since the number of user equipments has also increased rapidly, the problem of network load due to frequent handover of user equipments has occurred. As a solution to this we expect to be able to reduce network overload problems and the delay caused by handover using LTE-based D2D communication. In this paper, we proposed a proposal to support handover via a preceding user equipment using LTE-based D2D communication by handover method of existing LTE network. We proposed a method that can efficiently solve the handover situation of the user equipment via the preceding user equipment in order to reduce the overlapping signal used at the time of handover between the base station and the user equipment. The handover delay accompanying the change in the number of user equipments was able to confirm the result that the suggested scheme was reduced as compared with the existing LTE handover.

In mobile broadcasting networks, handover is an important issue to support seamless mobility. DVB-H(Digital Video Broadcasting for Handheld) standard was developed to enhance mobile features for DVB-T(Digital Video Broadcasting -Terrestrial) standard. This paper proposes new approaches for improving handover performance in the DVB-H networks. The proposed handover schemes are targeted to two different DVB-H receivers: One is for the receivers equipped with GPS devices. The other is for ones without GPS support. The first handover approach modifies the cell description table (CDT) proposed in the literature [1]. The second proposes a novel estimation technique of predefined handover region based on a new handover map table (HMT). This new handover approach estimates a predefined handover region with the measured RSSI(Received Signal Strength Indication) signal patterns. Using proposed handover algorithm, we can reduce time and power consumption. Through the computer simulations, we evaluate the performance of handover algorithm.

It is widely accepted that the coverage with high user densities can only be achieved with small cell such as micro- and pico-cell. The smaller cell size causes frequent handovers between cells and a decrease in the permissible handover Processing delay. This may result in the handover failure. in addition to the loss of some Packets during the handover. In these cases. re-transmission is needed in order to compensate errors, which triggers a rapid degradation of throughput. In this paper, we propose a new handover scheme in the next generation mobile communication systems, in which the handover setup process is done in advance before a handover request by predicting the handover cell based on mobile terminal's current position and moving direction. Simulation is focused on the handover failure rate and Packet loss rate. The simulation results show that our proposed method provides a better performance than the conventional method.

최근 광대역 통신망을 무선 영역까지 확장하고자 하는 노력의 일환으로 무선 ATM 시스템에 관한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 무선 ATM에서는 셀의 반경이 작아져서 핸드오버가 자주 일어나게 되는데 이는 QoS 저하를 야기하며, 핸드오버를 위한 채널이 부족하면 호가 절단되는 현상을 야기하게 된다. 이를 방지하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 QoS 보장이 용이하고, 채널 할당을 효율적으로 할 수 있는 핸드오버 방식을 제안한다. 대부분의 사용자는 일정한 패턴을 따라 이동함을 이용하여 이 패턴에 따라 핸드오버에 필요한 채널을 예약하고, 단말의 이동 시 신속한 핸드오버를 수행하게 된다. 제안한 알고리즘을 사용할 경우 핸드오버 호의 절단율을 줄일 수 있고, 채널 사용도 효율적으로 이루어진다.

연결형 서비스 방식인 무선 ATM에서 핸드오버는 현재 서비스 중인 연결의 협상된 QoS를 유지하면서 단말기의 이동성 보장을 목표로 한다. 무선 ATM의 핸드오버는 기존 셀룰러망에서 요구되는 일반적인 사항뿐만 아니라, ATM 고유의 요구사항들도 만족시켜야 한다. 특히, 무선 ATM은 기존의 셀룰러 망과는 달리 데이터 응용을 주요 서비스로 하기 때문에 핸드오버 시 전송되는 셀의 손실과 중복을 방지하고 순서를 보장할 수 있어야 한다. 또한, 멀티미디어 서비스의 제공을 위해서 다중 VC(Virtual Connection)에 대한 그룹 핸드오버를 효율적으로 지원할 수 있어야 한다. 이러한 요구사항을 기반으로 본 연구에서는 지금까지 무선 ATM 통신망 프로토타입과 여태까지 제안된 기존의 핸드오버 방식들을 살펴보고 이들의 특징과 장단점을 고찰한다. 또한, 핸드오버와 관련해 ATM 포럼에서 제안된 알고리즘들을 살펴보고 그 특징을 비교 분석한다.

NEMO is technique to support mobility of a network, not a node, and ensures session continuity for all the nodes in a Mobile Network. However NEMO basic support protocol causes high handover latency, thus it is incongruent real-time services such as VoIP. One of schemes to reduce handover latency is FNEMO. FNEMO that combines conventional NEMO and FMIPv6, reduces latency during the handover, thus it supports fast handover. In this paper, we compare/analyze handover of FNEMO in heterogeneous/homogeneous network, and propose schemes to reduce handover latency.

PMIPv6(Proxy Mobile IPv6)는 네트워크 기반 이동성 지원프로토콜로 MN(Mobile Node)에 이동성을 제공하기 위해 제안되었다. PMIPv6는 기존 호스트 기반 이동성 지원 프로토콜에 비해 MN이 핸드오버 시그널링에 참여하지 않기 때문에 무선구간에서의 자원 사용량 감소, MN의 에너지 소비량 감소, 그리고 핸드오버 시그널링 비용 감소의 향상된 성능을 보인다. 하지만 PMIPv6에는 핸드오버 시그널링으로 인한 지연 및 패킷손실의 문제점이 있다. MN이 다음에 이동할 위치를 알고 핸드오버를 미리 준비할 수 있다면 빠른 핸드오버를 지원할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 MN의 이동경로를 저장하여 이동히스토리를 구성하고 MN이 다음에 이동할 위치를 예측함으로써 빠른 핸드오버를 지원한다.
