Hysteresis margin for handover in LTE Femtocell networks / Ernyza Yusuff

Femtocells with small radius are used in the network is one of the challenges for elimination of redundant handover. The utilization of femtocell results to more common will be initiation of a handover procedure. This paper focuses on an actual level of hysteresis margin according to the position of the UE in a cell. To elimination of redundant handovers, the hysteresis margin is commonly used as parameter. The purpose of this paper is to determine the impacts of triggering setting hysteresis margin on handover performance for different scenario which is number of user ,speed and cell radius. The optimal setting for each scenario has been proposed. The result shows that the deployment of femtocell has increase the handover performance.
