Performance analysis of handover in LTE (long term evolution) femtocell network: article / Mohd Hafiz Abu Bakar

Nowadays, the demands for high data rate in wireless communication are increasing and the system is expected will gradually towards to ultra-wide band technology in the next generation [2]. As the growing multimedia, wireless communication system faced the challenges to support broadband data access. According to the survey, the personal communications system is ninety percent occur indoor which also nearly twothirds of the service. Therefore, in order to improve the coverage and to increase system capacity, the system operators cope with large demand for mobile devices. Femtocell is a mainstream solution which a popular method to extend mobile network coverage and to enhance the system capacity. A method that can be set up by both system operators and consumers also known as a home base stations, a small communication range, low power, low cost and other characteristics. The latest technology in wireless communication systems is Long Term Evolution (LTE) Femtocell with one of the purposes of this technology is to enhance indoor coverage by using ‘plug and play’ approach by the user as the operation of this technology to be achieved [1]. Telecommunications industry services are moving forward from circuit switched to packet-switched and from voice to data. LTE are ready to conquer the next generation of mobile networks. Some opinion feels that the LTE technology can give great economic benefits to the operators and the networks beyond 3G mobile. Long Term Evolution (LTE) are technologies toward next-generation mobile broadband standards, which is this technologies expected to provide higher throughput and lower transmission latency for mobile users [2]. By using femtocell technology there will be both good for users and system operators. For users, good signal enhance the transmission reliability, capacity, and offers energy saving features such as reduced electrical interference and power wasting. This function defines handover for emerging technologies and will add value to the network operator [1]. These papers do a Performance Analysis of Handover in LTE (Long Term Evolution) Femtocell Network.
