In DS-CDMA cellular systems, using the same frequency channel at the adjacent cells simultaneously makes soft handoff possible. In soft handoff, mobiles use multiple radio resources for the space diversity of signal in the overlapped region. The previous traffic models of hard handoff are not applicable to the system with soft handoff due to switching radio channels in that region. The handoff rate can be calculated by the mobility of mobiles, which is a function of the size and shape of a cell, and the speed and density of the mobiles. In this paper, we propose an analytical traffic model to study the soft handoff rate. We assume that the system uses a two-way handoff scheme for practical purposes, which connects only two cells to a mobile during soft handoff. We performed a computer simulation to confirm the accuracy of the proposed soft handoff model. The simulation results show good agreement with the analytical model.

Many schemes to reduce the inter-MAP handoff delay in hierarchical mobile IPv6 have been proposed but the previous schemes waste relatively large network resources to decrease the path rerouting delay. In this paper, we propose the 2-layered MAP concept, where the seamless inter-MAP handoff can be supported regardless of path rerouting time. As a result, the waste of wired resources and the rate of the inter-MAP handoff can be reduced. From the performance analysis and simulation, the inter-MAP handoff rate for non-real-time traffic is only about 1/3 of the conventional result. Such advantageous features of the proposed scheme neither incur any increase of the total handoff rate nor require additional MAPs.

In CDMA cellular systems, a handoff process in which the mobile station (MS) can communicate with the target base station without interrupting the communication with the current base station makes contact with the target base station before it breaks with the station it is operating on. An MS requests a soft handoff to a neighbor base station (BS) whenever the pilot strength received from the neighbor BS exceeds the handoff threshold, even though the MS may not actually be approaching to the neighbor BS. Since two traffic channels have to assign to an MS during the soft handoff period, the utilization of traffic channels is wasted. Thus, an analysis of handoff rate is a key to understand and evaluate channel efficiency. In this paper, a simple and straightforward mathematical analysis method for evaluate obtaining direction-based soft handoff rate and the number of handoff calls in CDMA cellular systems is proposed.

There has been a lot of research done in scheme guaranteeing user's mobility and effective resources management to satisfy the requested by users in the wireless/mobile networks. In this paper, we propose a predictive resource allocation scheme based on ARMA(Auto Regressive Moving Average) prediction model to meet QoS requirements(handoff dropping rate) for guaranteeing users' mobility. The proposed scheme predicts the demanded amount of resource in the future time by ARMA time series prediction model, and then reserves it. The ARMA model can be used to take into account the correlation of future handoff resource demands with present and past handoff demands for provision of targeted handoff dropping rate. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the existing RCS(Reserved channel scheme) in terms of handoff connection dropping rate and resource utilization.

In this paper, we propose signaling procedures amon network elements for a connection rerouting method which can reduce inter-switch handoff processing delay reduces the delay in the connection re-routing by reserving VPI/VCIs for possible inter-switch handoff calls in advance. Additionally, we mathematically analyze the signaling procedures and then suggest solutions to the relations with cluser size, network topoloty, handoff-request rete and handoff delay. With simulation, the solutions are validated. From numerical examples, we concluded taht handoff delay, one of the handoff QoSs, can be satisfied by adjusting the cluster size and network topology according to the handoff -request rate of service area. With our proposed signaling and analytic methods, we concluded that the connection rerouting method using cluster-sectoring effectively reduces the delay of inter-switch handoff processing than dynamic connection rerouting method. Our solutions are useful in guaranteeing the requested handoff delay (especially, inter-switch handoff delay) when the connection rerouting method is applied to ATM-based wireless/wired integrated network.

For a successful inter-system handoff, several important issues must be handled and additional new features must be considered. This paper focuses on the cellular structure of small cells which are required for the high density of population and a handoff scheme designed between two heterogenous networks. Incase of inter-system handoff (ISHO), the time required to complete the handoff can vary and depends on the structure of networks. And also the transmission of additional signals can increase the probability of failure for ISHO. Here we propose the sub-boundary cell base station (Sub-BBS) to alleviate the role of the BBS. The Sub-BBS is adjacent to BBS in the same regional mobile network. 쪼en the mobile terminal enters Sub-BBS, the network starts finding a new route and after entering BBS, it initiates the transformation process. The proposed scheme significantly reduces the ISHO failure rate compared to the existing one which is the most recent and known as efficient.

본 논문은 모바일 환경에서 Handoff 상에서 부드러운 스트림(stream) 재생(presentation)을 위한 멀티미디어 동기화 기법을 제안한다. 모바일 환경에서 자주 발생되는 Handoff는 베이스스테이션이 변경되므로 해서 베이스스테이션에 저장되어 있는 멀티미디어 스트림을 잃어버리게 된다. 이러한 단점은 스트림의 재생시 끊기게 되어 멀티미디어 스트림이 낮은 QoS를 갖게된다. 본 논문에서는 멀티미디어 동기화 기법으로 버퍼링 방법을 제안하였다. 분석결과, 제안된 기법은 기존의 기법보다 미디어 스트림의 끊김없는 재생(stream of continuous play out)을 제공하는 것뿐만 아니라 패킷의 높은 재생률(playout rate)과 낮은 손실률(loss rate)을 보였다.

In this paper, we analyze the call control scheme that is using buffer at new call and handoff call for non-uniform traffic load distribution, the multiple cell environments and the multiple types of services such as voice and data service. Considering the facts, the call admission control method using the effective bandwidth concept is employed in this paper, The bandwidth for a new call and a handoff call is allocated by the number of mobile station and dynamically assigned by taking account of the blocking rate of new calls and the dropping rate of handoff calls. The call control procedure is experimented through a simulation study by dynamically the bandwidth to new and handoff calls based on the blocking rate and the dropping rate. The results show our call control scheme can get a good quality of service for mobile users.

In this thesis, we propose a Speed Accommodation Priority Algorithm Scheme(SPAS) and Traffic Control Model Scheme (TCMS) to satisfy a desired handoff dropping probability and to reduce the blocking probability of new calls using mobility characteristics and handoff rate in mobile communication networks. The guard channels below threshold can guarantee the Quality of Service(QoS) in terms of the request handoff dropping probability and the guard channels above the threshold can be used to handle high priority new calls and high priority handoff calls. When the ratio of the handoff call arrival rate is less then the ratio of the new call arrival rate, the proposed method can guarantee the new call better than the previous guard channel scheme.

In this paper, we propose a channel assignment scheme for reducing call blocking rate in a base station(BS) of DS-CDMA cellular systems. The proposed scheme can e applied to the case where the capacity of reverse radio link is enough, but not are the available traffic channels performing the digital modulation and demodulation functions between a mobile station and the base station. The proposed scheme takes advantage of the feature of soft handoff in which a mobile station keeps its communication link even if one of the two communication links is released. The scheme estimates the mean and variance of the received power level measured at the base station before assigning a traffic channel for a new call request. The BS makes decision based on the estimated balues whether the new call request will be accepted or not. If it is decided that the capacity of reverse radio link is enough, but all traffic channels are not available, then the BS increases the soft handoff parameter T_DROP to release the traffic channels of mobile stations loactedin soft handoff area. The BS assigns the released traffic channel to anew call or a handoff call. The performance of the proposed channel assignment scheme is evaluated by computer simulation. The results show that the call blocking rate for new calls and handoff calls is reduced.
