Abstract

Traditional handover mechanisms trigger network selection based on dynamic performance metrics such as Received Signal Strength (RSS), Delay, and Loss etc. These dynamic approaches do not take into account how the predictability of end user movement can be used to influence and optimize handover selection. For systems with repeated movement such approaches are limited as they do not consider how the predictable nature of mobility can be used to influence network selection. Some places where we can see predictable movement would be motorway roads or public service vehicles and educational institution. Traditional network selection mechanisms do not exploit this predictability. This performance work proposes PHANS - A Probability Based Handover Algorithm for Network Selection Using End User Predicted Movement in order to weigh the relative importance of both dynamic performance metrics together with predictable movement patterns in order to optimise network selection. Results presented illustrate that significant performance improvements are achievable when the predictability of end user movement is considered as part of a network selection decision.
