This causes a failure of the handover to the target femtocell.
The proposed scheme has outperformed in minimizing the probability of handover failures and unnecessary handovers when compared with conventional methods.
Simulation results show that the proposed scheme has a better performance than the fixed parameters method in terms of reduced the number of handover failures and unnecessary handovers with limited signalling modifications.
This is due to the intense signaling, point of failure, and handover delay during the MN motion.
However, ignoring the load balancing among the MAGS and using single LMA to process or forward the MN's packets withing the LMA domain, have resulted in many drawbacks (e.g, single point of failure, long handover latencies and intense signaling [3 5]).
These adverse events were preventable (ie, the result of a failure in handover practice) in approximately one-third of cases (ie, 6.3% of all discharges).
The proposed scheme was simulated using Omnet++ tool, and the performance is analyzed in terms of handover latency, handover failure probability and communication interruption probability.
Maternity duty handovers were associated with patient dissatisfaction, particularly the process of hand-over, the decision-making that follows handovers and failure of communication of information to patients and their caretakers.
The handover interruption time is independent of handover policy, unless the handover policy results in very late scheduling of the handover process and consequently, handover failure.
Errors leading to adverse events are often related to sporadic failure of routine, loss of key information at handover, and clouding of the narrative of the patients' illnesses.
