Abstract
We consider stochastic cellular networks where base stations locations form a homogeneous Poisson point process and each mobile is attached to the base station that provides the best mean signal power. The mobile is in outage if the signal-to-noise-plus-interference ratio falls below some threshold. The handover decision has to be made if the mobile is in outage during several time slots. The outage probability and the handover probabilities are evaluated taking into account the effect of path loss, shadowing, Rayleigh fast fading, frequency factor reuse and conventional beamforming. The main assumption is that the Rayleigh fast fading changes at each time slot while other network components remain static during the period of study.
