Outline • Handoff Management • Architectural Issues in Handoff • Handoff Decision Time Algorithms • Types of Handoffs
Mobile Management Handoff Management • Architectural Issues in Handoff • Set of protocols to notify all related entities of a particular connection that a handoff has been executed and the connection has to be redefined • In voice network, MT selects the BS that is serving its location • When an MT moves from one point of attachment to another, the old serving point of attachment has to be informed about the change (dissociation) • Other network components involved in routing mechanism have to be aware of the handoff in order to seamlessly continue the ongoing connection of the call
Mobile Management • Handoff are classified according to the connection creation • Seamless handoff and hard handoff • Handoffs are classified into: • Network Controlled Handoff (NCHO) • Mobile Controlled Handoff (MCHO) • Mobile Assisted Handoff (MAHO)
Mobile Management Handoff Management • Handoff Decision Time Algorithms • Traditional handoff algorithms are based on the RSS. Some of them are as follows: • RSS • RSS plus Threshold • RSS plus Hysteresis • RSS, Hysteresis and Threshold • Algorithms plus Dwell Timer
Example • A mobile terminal is receiving signals from 3 BSs at the handoff region. • The handoff decision is made at each sampling time according to the below • table. The MT is initially connected with BS1. • Show the handoff transitions between BSs for each of the following • algorithms: • RSS • RSS + -60 dBm Threshold • RSS + Hysteresis 10 dBm • RSS + Hsyteresis 5 dBm + -55 dBm Threshold
Mobile Management Handoff Management • Handoff Decision Time Algorithms • The performance of handoff algorithms measures have been considered such as call blocking probability, handoff blocking probability, delay between handoff request and execution, and call dropping probability • Handoff rate is related to the ping-pong effect and algorithms are designed to minimize the number of unnecessary handoffs
Mobile Management Generic Handoff Management Process • Handoff decision is made and initiated • MT register with new visiting database via handoff messages • New visiting database communicates with the home database to get the subscriber profile and for authentication • Home database responds to the new visiting database with authentication of the MT • Home database sends messages to the old visiting database to cancel registration • The old visiting database flushes or redirects to the new visiting database and removes the MT from its list
Mobile Management Handoff Management • Types of Handoffs: • Intracell, two channels • Intercellintradomain handoff, between two BSs associated with the same database • Intercellinterdomain handoff, between two BSs with different database
