Neighboring eNBs are interconnected via the X2 interface, that conveys control information related to handover and interference coordination.
Neighbouring BSs (i.e., within the groups connected by the S1 interface) are interconnected via the X2 interface, which carries control information regarding handover and interference coordination.
Another kind of studies related to the RAN part comprise the validation and performance evaluation of CRRM-related issues (see, e.g., [31, 32]), including CRRM architectures, inter-RAN communication mechanisms, RAN selection and load-sharing algorithms, and Vertical Handover (VHO) execution and coordination policies, among others.
13 The unambiguous transfer of responsibility has been observed as one of the handover strategies to improve team coordination in work settings with high consequences for failure.
It is worth saying that the assumption of a clustered architecture of SBSs is a viable hypothesis, since other functional entities of the network may already require this structure (e.g., to perform inter-cell interference coordination or soft handovers between SBSs).
It makes use of reinforcement learning techniques and inter-cell coordination for improving the handover and throughput performance of UEs.
In this article, we propose a context-aware mobility management (MM) procedure for small cell networks, which uses reinforcement learning techniques and inter-cell coordination for improving the handover and throughput performance of UE.
While we worked with a small sample of 21 healthcare provider interviews, comments on the lack of standardisation, coordination and training for handover were consistent across the group; interviewees were quite frustrated with low degree of coordination within the system.
31 33 At the same time, the responsibility for handovers should not be shifted to patients and their families, as handovers are primarily an issue of coordination for health services.
This article proposes an optimized handover scheme, in which the coordinated multiple point transmission technology and dual vehicle station coordination mechanism are applied to improve the traditional hard handover performance of LTE.
