  • the present invention generally relates to a handover process in a mobile communication system.
  • the present invention relates to a technique for selecting a preferred base station (BS) from plural candidate BSs for a user equipment (UE) to switch to.

  • UDN ultra dense network
  • a proper handover management system Since frequent occurrence of handover causes high overhead or call drop issues, a proper handover management system has to be developed in order to address these issues. It is desirable to select a preferred BS whenever a handover is required such that the total number of handover events over a given time duration can be kept minimal or reduced. Efforts for selecting the preferred BS in order to lower the number of handover events include the following techniques.
  • the preferred BS is determined to be a BS based on determining whether the UE is approaching or leaving this BS. Whether the UE is approaching the BS is determined by first-order differences of (a) a received signal quality such as a SNR or an error rate, and (b) a time delay of signal arrival.
  • the preferred BS is determined to be the BS that is considered by checking the first-order differences with predefined thresholds. Only the BS with a positive first-order difference, which means the UE is currently approaching the BS instead of leaving the BS, is chosen as a preferred BS.
  • threshold configuration is case-specific, and is difficult to find a universal threshold.
  • the use of first-order differences only provides coarse grouping or classification of the BSs. The preferred BS that is identified may not be the most desirable one in minimizing the number of handover events.
  • the preferred BS is determined by considering RSS values, first-order differences thereof and Doppler frequency as prioritizing/weighting factors. Nevertheless, more measurement and estimation effort is required for this technique. Because of using first-order differences only, this technique also suffers from the same drawback of the technique of CN1889770A in that only coarse grouping of the BSs under consideration results.
  • a method for determining whether a train is approaching or leaving a candidate BS is suggested for subsequently determining a preferred BS.
  • the train is installed with a relay BS on board.
  • Periodic measurements on a time of arrival, a frequency offset, a Doppler frequency, a RSS value, or a combination thereof, are performed by the relay BS.
  • a preferred BS that the relay BS is advantageous to switch to is identified if the increasing rate of the signal quality revealed from the periodic measurements exceeds a threshold.
  • threshold configuration may be case-specific and difficult to find a universal threshold.
  • this technique also inherits the drawback of other aforementioned techniques in that only coarse grouping of the BSs is resulted due to consideration of first-order differences only.
  • An aspect of the present invention is to provide a method for selecting, by a UE, a preferred BS from plural candidate BSs for the UE to switch to in a handover process.

  • the preference level is a total number of any finite difference or finite differences identified in the plurality of finite differences, such that the identified finite difference or identified finite differences have consecutive order numbers, include the first-order difference, and are either positive or non-negative.

  • FIG. 2 shows that the UE 102 is leaving the second cell 125, shortening the time of triggering a next handover (the handover being indicated as a fifth coordinate 252) .
  • the strategy of selecting the BS having the highest RSS value is not advantageous for the UDN 100 in minimizing the number of occurrences of handover events.
  • a time duration that the UE 102 is served by this BS before a next handover event is triggered is the maximum among such time durations estimated for all candidate BSs.
