A Blind Handover Technique for the Intelligent Transportation Network

Abstract

Abstract. In order to solve the problem of frequent handoff in intelligent transportation networks, a novel blind handover technique is proposed. The technology is based on the vehicle moving route reported by the vehicle navigation system, generating the target cell database and handover trigger location database. When the vehicle navigation GPS and the mobile network perceive the vehicle arriving at the handover trigger point, the system automatically extracts the corresponding target cell, and then completes the handover. Unlike traditional handover methods, the proposed technique does not require handover measurements, greatly reduces the total handover latency, and improves the handover success rate and service quality.
