  Abstract

It is widely accepted that high user densities in mobile multimedia environments can only be achieved with micro- and pico-cell. The smaller cell size causes frequent handovers between cells, and decreases permissible handover processing delay. This may result in the handover failure, in addition to the loss of some packets during the handover. In these cases, re-transmission is needed in order to compensate errors, which in turn triggers a rapid degradation of throughput. In this paper, we propose a new handover scheme for the next generation mobile communication systems, in which the handover setup process is done in advance before a handover request by predicting the handover cell based on mobile terminal's current position and moving direction. Simulation is performed in order to analyze the handover failure rate and packet loss rate. Simulation results show that our proposed method provides a better performance than the conventional method.
