| Popis: | In the vehicular network, the smart car provides variously network services via user equipment (UE). However, the services might be interrupted since the handover procedure of the UE is performed frequently. The existing handover decision schemes in cellular networks are mostly based on received signal strength (RSS) to make the handover decision. However, these schemes suffer from a ping-pong effect and, as a result, perform unnecessary handovers incurring extra signaling overhead and packet loss, which is even more exaggerated in the ultra-dense environment. The failure probability of the handover procedure will increase when the velocity of the car is fast. Therefore, in this paper we propose a navigation-assisted seamless handover (NASH) scheme for reducing unnecessary handovers and the ping-pong effect. NASH uses the massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technique to perform the bicasting scheme and then it utilizes coordination multi-point (CoMP) and carrier aggregation (CA) mechanisms in the handover procedure to avoid the packet loss problem and enhance throughput. Moreover, a dynamic time to trigger (TTT) mechanism is proposed according to the velocity of the car. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme has a better performance in terms of handover latency, packet loss, network throughput, handover failure probability, and the number of unnecessary handovers. |
