The effects of moving speed on handover performances with measurement data

This paper investigates the effects of moving speed on handover performances with measurement data from three scenarios, i.e., viaduct environment, cutting environment and urban area. To do so, we first extract some samples from measurement data. As the data neglected the effect of shadow fading and interchannel interference (ICI), we then add some values into the data, which are the shadowing generated following lognormal distribution and the upper bound of ICI power caused by Doppler frequency spread. Based on the data, we analyze the effects of moving speed on handover performances in Long Term Evolution (LTE) , where the handover performance including the handover starting point is calculated in terms of the measurement data and the handover procedure in LTE. Numerical results show that higher speed postposes the handover starting point.
