A Dynamic Neighbor Cell List Generating Algorithm in Cellular System

A suitable and dynamic neighbor cell list will increase the soft handoff success rate thus decrease the drop probability. Thus it is significant to design an effective neighbor cell list generating algorithm. The conventional algorithms generate the list by simply putting all the neighbor cells together. That will increase the pilot search time, so the handoff success rate reduces. This paper presents a dynamic neighbor cell list generating algorithm based on vote model. Besides, it is optimized by using the handoff statistical information to make the vote-coefficient adaptive by itself.
