In this paper, we analyze the effect of mobility management method to the data rate of moving users when pico-cell which uses the same frequency bandwidth as that of macro-cell is overlaid over macro-cell. From this analysis, we show that the data rate which is available to the moving user depends on the method of mobility management and relative location of the overlaid pico-cell over macro-cell in the network.

In this paper, we propose a novel inter-cell handover approach from a new perspective in dense Heterogeneous and Small Cell Networks (HetSNets). We first devise a cell selection mechanism to choose a proper candidate small cell for the UEs that tend to implement inter-small cell handover (ICH). By exploiting the property of a typical non-concentric circle, i.e., circle of Apollonius, we then propose a novel analytical method for modeling inter-cell handover regions and present mathematical derivation to prove that the inter-small cell handover issues fit the property of the circle of Apollonius. We design an inter-cell handover algorithm (ICHA) by means of our proposed handover model to dynamically configure hysteresis margin and properly implement handover decision in terms of UE's mobility. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed ICHA yields lower call drop rate and radio link failure rate than the conventional methods and hence achieve high Handover Performance Indicator (HPI).

Provisioning of quality of service (QoS) is a key issue in any multi-media system. However, in wireless systems, supporting QoS requirements of different traffic types is a more challenging problem due to the need to simultaneously minimize two performance metrics - the probability of dropping a handover call and the probability of blocking a new call. Since QoS requirements are not as stringent for non-real-time traffic, as opposed to real-time traffic, more calls can be accommodated by releasing some bandwidth from the already admitted non-real-time traffic calls. If the released bandwidth that is used to handle handover calls is larger than the released bandwidth that is used for new calls, then the resulting probability of dropping a handover call is smaller than the probability of blocking a new call. In this paper, we propose an efficient call admission control algorithm that relies on adaptive multi-level bandwidth-allocation scheme for non-realtime calls. The scheme allows reduction of the call dropping probability, along with an increase in the bandwidth utilization. The numerical results show that the proposed scheme is capable of attaining negligible handover call dropping probability without sacrificing bandwidth utilization.

In this paper, we propose a new Active Channel Scanning scheme by scanning active channels employed by neighbor APs' with the handover counts and non overlap channel information for fast handover. Under the proposed scheme, the mobile which has finished handover to connect a new APsends the neighbor AP's channel information learned by itself during handover to the new AP. And then, the new AP relays the neighbor channel information to the old AP. It decides a priority by handover counts and non overlap channel information for building a Neighbor Channel Table(NCT), and also sends the table information to its associated mobile nodes, periodically. As a result each mobile can scan only active neighbor APs' channels when performs handover based on the referring to NCT information. Using NS-2 Simulator, we applied to supposed ACS that the result of simulation decides to sort by handover counts and non overlap channel information. we evaluate our proposed ACS scheme based on NCT along with the full scanning scheme and the selective scanning scheme. From simulation results, we show that the proposed scheme is advantageous over the other two schemes in terms of the number of scanning channels and the scanning latency.

This paper proposes a location-based inter-beam handover event considering terminal mobility to enhance the service quality for terminals in satellite networks. The terminal continuously measures the distance between the serving cell and neighboring cell centers, and checks whether the handover event condition is satisfied, taking into account the terminal's velocity. Performance analysis results demonstrate that the proposed location-based handover event reduces the frequency of unnecessary handover event triggering compared to the conventional received signal strength-based handover event, thereby improving the service continuity of the terminal.

This paper analyzes the performance of the handover in an overlaid micro/macro cellular system suited for mobile communication environments. In proposed model, it is analyzed the performance of case that subscriber who move with high speed does handover to a macrocell instead of doing handover by microcell. For an easy analysis, a circle shaped cell model are assumed both in microcell and macrocell. The reservation channel scheme is adopted in microcell for a low-speed mobile while a scheme using queue is used in macrocell for a high-speed mobile. The analytic results show that the proposed scheme provides a lower handover failure relatively than in a non-overlaid cellular system with slightly increased new call blocking probability.

Multi-Relay Networks should accommodate mobile users of various speeds. The cellular system should meet the minimum residency time requirements for handover calls while considering an efficient use of available channels. In this paper, we design speed-sensitive handover under dynamic hierarchical cellular systems, in which mobile users are classified according to the mean speed of mobile users and each class has its cellular layer. In order to meet the minimum residency time, the cell size of each cellular layer is dynamically determined depending on the distributions of mean speeds of mobile users. Since the speed-dependent non-preferred cell can provide a secondary resource, overflow and take-back schemes are adopted in the system. We develop analytical models to study the performance of the proposed system, and show that the optimal cell size improves the blocking probability.

To provide IPTV service over mobile networks, the mechanism that reduce packet loss and interrupt of multimedia service during the handover should be supported. Especially, buffering based mechanism is preferable for supporting IPTV services in the way of preserving streaming service using stored data and recovering non-received data after handover. But previous research doesn't consider the buffer allocation for applying various environments which can change handover time or end to end delay of relay node. This paper propose DBAHAJ mechanism that optimize buffer size of mobile nodes and relay node for supporting seamless IPTV service over mobile environments. Mobile node determines buffer size by checking handover time and maximum difference of sequence to keep playing video data. And multicast agent recovers packet loss during the handover by sending buffered data. By these two procedure, node supports seamless IPTV service on mobile networks. We confirm performance of this mechanism on NS-2 simulator.

In this paper, we propose a mobility management scheme which has a simple IP emulation method based on virtual interface. This scheme supports prevention of service abortion resulting from RAT (Radio Access Technology) interface switching during vertical handover and provides mobility management convenience according to maintenance of consistency in simple IP mobility management scheme of 3rd generation mobile network. Through the empirical experiments of proposed method, we check out the improvement of handover performance of the proposed scheme based on vertical handover latency comparing with a non-virtual interface system.

This paper proposed an authentication interworking protocol (AIP) based on IEEE 802.21 MIH in the heterogeneous networks. The proposed AIP using the RSA signature reduces handover delay time and communication message overhead when the mobile node moves between the heterogeneous networks. It defines new AIP TLV in MIH frame format and uses the MIH Information Server (MIHIS) for proxy signature issue instead of the authentication server for the heterogeneous networks. For low handover delay, the proposed AIP performs pre-authentication processes with MIH protocol before layer 2 handover. Also, this paper analyzed the performance of the handover and compared with the non-secure MIH protocol.
