“…Therefore, handoff techniques should avoid unnecessary handoffs. The second way is capacity-based handoff users connect to the cell that offers better capacity in terms of bandwidth [13]. In this paper, a handoff strategy that gives priority to how well the energy is being spent is introduced as the perenergy capacity based handoff.…”

With the increased penetration of LTE and LTE-Advanced into the telecommunication market, many efforts have been made to increase the wireless coverage and extend it to previously inaccessible environments. Femtocells have been introduced in order to provide such coverage amelioration for regions where connectivity is reduced due to interference and signal attenuation issues. In this paper, we introduce a decision policy that takes into account the mobility aspect by considering the velocity of mobile stations and their cell-residence time in order to lessen excessive handoff and improve the overall network performance.

“…At the same time, users have benefits from improved coverage, better voice and data quality, and prolonged battery life. Depending on the pricing policy of the service provider , users may also be offered discounted tariffs [6][7][8][9][10][11]. Owing to the variety of benefits, the femtocell has become a viable solution to support broadband mobile multimedia services (MMS) in the mobile cellular networks.…”
