Abstract :
Three strategies are presented for reducing the probability of hand-over failure when a microcellular base station fails in a highway microcellular cluster having an oversailing macrocell. Simulations show that the probability of new call blocking was unchanged, while the probability of hand-over failure decreased, although the SIR also decreased
