A New Handover Strategy between Femtocell and Macrocell for LTE-Based Network

Abstract

The femtocell networks that use Home eNodeB (HeNB) and existing networks as backhaul connectivity can fulfill the upcoming demand of high data rate for wireless communication system as well as can extend the coverage area. We consider some parameters which are interference, velocity, RSS and QoS level in handover. We propose a new handover strategy between femtocell and macrocell for LTE-based network in hybrid access mode. This strategy can avoid unnecessary handover and reduce handover failure. In this paper we analyzed three scenarios after handover decision strategy procedure: hand-in (CSG and non-CSG), hand-out.
