Mobility Effects on Handovers In MBB Networks Within Kaduna Metropolis
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Electronics and Communication Engineering(IOSR-JECE) - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 4
Abstract
Mobile Broadband MBB networks under mobility are evaluated with regards to connectivity, packet loss and throughput and compared with static performance. Handover, signal strength, RRC mode and sub mode were studied. The four operating networks which represent more than 90% mobile broadband market share in Nigeria were compared. These networks were characterized in different locations within Kaduna metropolis with measurements conducted in peak hours and off-peak hours. Packets were collected mostly in 3G and few in 2G. A GPS equipped G-NetTrack Pro net-monitor and drive test tool application for UMTS/GSM/LTE/CDMA/EVDO network which allows monitoring and logging of mobile network serving and neighbor cells information is used for these measurements. Different performance metrics were affected differently in mobility. Connectivity seems significantly affected under mobility. Almost all packets were received without loss in static scenario, whereas significant connection losses were observed in mobility. Measurements were carried out during handover to monitor the rate at which the amount of packet loss due to handover events and the total number of dropped calls in the mobile system.
