Abstract

Comparative Analyses of Handover Decision Algorithms (HODA) for horizontal handovers in Long Term Evolution Network (LTE-A) in terms of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) were conducted using system level simulation in MATLAB. The KPIs analyzed were the users’ throughput, spectral efficiency, cell –edge Spectral efficiency, handover success rate , call drop Rate, Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) of Received Signal Reference Power (RSRP), Average RSRP over Primary Component Carrier (PCC) and Secondary Carrier (SCC) and interruption time. . From the results obtained, the algorithm based on spectrum aggregation of carriers from wireless communication spectrum and television white space band referred to as the proposed-TVWS algorithm showed remarkable performance improvements in all the chosen KPIs when compared with MIF and CONV except in handover success rate at UEs speeds less than 70 km/hr of which MIF-HODA algorithm seemed to perform better. Therefore, the proposed-TVWS has yielded baseline certainty in the increase of wireless network quality of service in addition to the seamless network connectivity for the mobile users.
