Abstract

Recently mobile communication systems such as 3GPP LTE, IEEE802.16e have been growing interest in the femto-cell systems for increase of data rates and enhanced call quality. In a femto-cell system, frequent handover among femto-cells may happen. Also, the probability of handover failure may increase during the frequent handover. In this paper, we propose a load-balanced handover with adaptive hysteresis in a femto-cell system considering channel allocation status of target base station. The simulation results show that the proposed schemes reduce the ping-pong rate and improve the MS's handover-related performance in terms of handover failure probability compared with the conventional handover method in a femto-cell system.
