Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleHandover Outage Time Optimization in Heterogeneous NetworksS. LouvrosHandover is a very critical parameter in Cellular Networks. The outage handover time is a drawback for Quality of Service in wireless voice applications and heterogeneous cellular wireless networks. Apart from existing handover technique, a novel approach has been developed known as Network Assisted Handover improving the outage handover time and the fluctuations of data throughput. …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 6,551 accessesView PDFCite
