MDP based handover decision algorithm for femtocells

摘要: Femtocells emerge as an alternate solution meeting the ever-increasing demand for high wireless data rates in a cost effective way. Nevertheless, femtocells are also sharing same licensed UMTS frequencies with macrocells and they deployed by end-users ad hoc manner. The mobility management resulting macro-femto combined network should be performed according to characteristics of this asymmetric interaction. presented study proposes optimal MDP based handover decision mechanism that takes into account important interaction factors. Through simulations, performance novel algorithm has been compared state-of-art methods. results show end-user QoS ratio utilization femtocell increase significant
