Abstract :
Intra-frequency handover is an important RRM procedure in LTE and the (self-) optimisation of its performance, in terms of handover reliability and handover frequency, has been studied extensively by 3GPP. In this paper, we present a simulation analysis of the handover performance in an LTE macro deployment, considering the gains from uplink ICIC. It is demonstrated that uplink ICIC can improve the reliability of measurement report and handover confirm signaling, thereby reducing handover failure rates and also the handover delay.
