Abstract:
Capacity and coverage improvements in mobile communication networks have evolved to accommodate increased use of broadband data. One way to enable the use of broadband data is to utilize the mmWave band. The mmWave-based mobile backhaul solution is very useful for providing broadband data traffic for mobile service providers, including carriers. However, when moving at high speed like a high-speed train, a proper handover algorithm is required in a mobile backhaul system in order to overcome the high handover shortage or delay experienced at these frequencies. Fast and efficient handover reliance on these high-speed moves has a significant impact on the control layer procedure. In this paper, we design a cascade handover method and evaluate the throughput of handover data in a Mobile Hotspot Network (MHN) using a spectrum band over 6 GHz.
