Abstract
Mobility of devices in cellular network induces several problems. This has drawn reasonable research attention in recent times. Designing appropriate Call Admission Control (CAC) mechanism and evaluating performances for such algorithms are among the crucial challenges in the domain. Such technologies continually evolve with the changing communication paradigms. In this paper, we have investigated various parameters that impact performance at home base station to facilitate seamless handover by an exhaustive simulation using George Mason University’s Java-based MASON framework. The different parameters considered during simulation include handover threshold limits, user velocity, process prioritization, number of users in a cell, and redundancy for transceiver for better coverage. Through this exhaustive simulation, this paper aims to estimate the effect of factors influencing handoff as well as to test existing hypothesis about the handoff. The experimental results have disproved certain general conventions that are often assumed.
