Analyzing and simulation of handoff scenario for wireless communication network / Farah Syahida Mohd Kamal

The aim of this project is to present the analysis and simulation of handoff scenario for wireless communication network exclusively within Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) networks. The project started with designing a handover mechanism between GSM and a radio base network. To be able to design such a handoff, it started out with an investigation of handoff within GSM networks. Through simulations and analysis of the model, the investigation on behavior of a hard handoff is possible. The model is being compared to the real system, to determine the received signal in hard handoff using Okumura-Hata Model in order to determine if the outcome of a handoff of the predicted is consistent throughout the network. The data on handoff performance on mobile radio in UiTM Shah Alam area are collected and analyzed using a computer package called ROMES. While simulation is by using MATLAB software to evaluate the proposed methodology compared to the actual.
