Abstract

Prediction handover based on user mobility is one of the most efficient strategies to reduce the handover error ratio and future implement the fast and seamless handover in Heterogeneous networks (HetNet). There have been extensive studies on the prediction handover algorithms and Layer 3(L3) prediction model is widely applied. Based on that model, this paper proposes a combined prediction handover algorithm with mobility history in HetNet scenario. In this method, UE's history movement measurements were decomposed into trend part and non-trend part, the two parts were predicted by AR model and fuzzy neural network (FNN) respectively to improve the prediction accuracy. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed method, which can increase the accuracy of prediction handover target and decrease the handover prediction error ratio.
