Compared to the analysis of uncoded transmissions (based on signal-level outage probability and ergodic capacity), understanding coded systems gives more insight into the practical limits of communication schemes, with error correcting capabilities, and especially over mobile fading channels.
Supplementary analyses tested whether successful prediction could also be achieved based on signal global level and this analysis differed from the main analysis in 2 ways: 1) the average signal was not subtracted; 2) the timecourses of all voxels in a ROI were averaged resulting in one timecourse (i.e., classification using one dimension).
Using a small set of powerful constructors, HIDE allows hardware designers to describe and assemble highly efficient circuits from high level geometrical descriptions based on Signal Flow Graphs (SFG).
For this reason, in this work, the measurement type for triggering HO events is based on the signal level instead of the signal quality.
The benefit derived from this consideration will be analyzed in Section 4. Another assumption made in Section 2 is that event measurements are based on the signal level instead of the signal quality.
When the events are based on the signal level instead of the signal quality, the thresholds involved in these events require a more precise adjustment, especially in multi-layer scenarios, where the location of low-power nodes within the macro-cell may determine the adjustment of the thresholds.
Note that the above conditions are referred to the signal quality, but they can be also based on the signal level.
The main drawback is that the adjustment of the thresholds based on the signal level may depend on the specific network layer (e.g., the cell size).
The previous measurements performed by the UE are based on the signal level.
In this case, the problem arising from the use of HO triggering events based on the signal level is addressed.
