Locally optimal soft handoff algorithm

Research output: Contribution to journalConference articlepeer-review

Abstract

The performance of soft handoff algorithms is studied in terms of the tradeoff between three metrics: rate of handoffs, mean Active Set size and link quality. A Locally Optimal (LO) handoff algorithm is derived as an approximation to the optimal handoff algorithm. The LO algorithm is shown to yield a significantly better tradeoff than the static threshold handoff algorithm. A simple dynamic threshold handoff algorithm is shown to be an approximation to the LO algorithm, and result in performance only slightly inferior to the LO algorithm.
