Analysis and Optimization of Inter Band Handover Parameter by layering in LTE networks

Abstract

The tendency of users who are always moving but still want to get bandwidth and high access speed access makes service providers should implement a good transfer system, so that users do not experience mobility disruption. This article analyses the inter-band handover process between LTE 1800 Mhz and LTE 900 Mhz. The system uses a layering method where the user equipment moves to the lower layer. The performance of the handover is determined by using the drive test results utilizing a mobile phone a probe installed in the idle mode. The scenario of inter-band handover is based on A2 and A5 events that have been set by the 3GPP. The research exerted the layering values for 1800 LTE and LTE 900 respectively are 5 and 3 and obtained a reference threshold values of A2 and A5 respectively are −110 dBm and −105 dBm.
