E1 - Mobile Network mobility
Mobility principles
- Continuous mobility enables continuous availability of services while the user moves
- Discrete mobility enables the availability of services within certain areas and for certain access points, e.g home and office, but not while moving from one area to another.
- Portability is an example of discrete terminal mobility, where it is only allowed to move a terminal from one plug to another.
Handover
Handover: Changing the point of connection while communicating
- When a mobile user travels from one area of coverage or cell to another cell within a call’s duration the call should be transferred to the new cell’s base station
Why handover is needed?
- Mobility
GSM Handover
- mechanisms for requesting hand-over
- power lever in handset is too low
- signal/noise ratio is too low
- bit-error-rate is too high
- ...
- procedure
- handset requires hand-over
- base-station decides
- alternatives
- hand-over to neighbour cell
- hand-over to different RNC/BSC
- first registration (roaming)
