A novel approach in handover initiation for microcellular systemsA novel approach in handover initiation for microcellular systems Πλήρης Δημοσίευση σε Συνέδριο Conference Full Paper 2015-10-291994enA handover initiation algorithm based on signal level measurements and modelled as a composite binary hypothesis test is presented. The implementation of the algorithm is made by a neural network structure which allows fast response (compared to previous methods based on hysteresis margins) as well as adaptability to traffic conditions. Although traffic measurements performed by the base stations (BS) may, also, facilitate the decision for handover initiation, the final decision is made by the mobile terminal (MT), thus, leading to a mobile controlled handover (MCHO) strategy.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/1820 - 182344th Vehicular Technology Conference Liodakis Georgios Λιοδακης Γεωργιος Stavroulakis Petros Σταυρουλακης Πετρος Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers MEMS (Microelectromechanical systems) Micro-electro-mechanical systems Micro-machinery Microelectromechanical devices Micromachinery Micromachines Micromechanical devices Micromechanical systems microelectromechanical systems mems microelectromechanical systems micro electro mechanical systems micro machinery microelectromechanical devices micromachinery micromachines micromechanical devices micromechanical systems
