Comparisons of handover initiation in a new multi-cell cellular networks with multi-beam antennas

A new multi-cell cellular configuration networks is provided for analysis of handover initiation probability, which is based on multi-beam base-station antenna splitting in the elevation-radiating plane. The sum of the mobile received signal power including desired and interference signal has been introduced into the handover initiation algorithm, along with the idea, we present three models of handover initiation algorithm with the shadowing process of Gaussian distribution. The formulation of handover initiation probability of those algorithms is also analyzed. The validity of the presented models has been checked through a comparison with simulation results. The results presents the performance characteristics of handover initiation vary with cluster number and base-station antenna elevation angle for the three models.
