Abstract :
Microcells increase system capacity but make resource management difficult. A fixed parameter handoff algorithm cannot perform uniformly well in various handoff scenarios encountered by a mobile station in a microcellular environment. Adaptive handoff algorithms based on fuzzy logic are proposed. It is shown that the proposed algorithms provide high performance in generic handoff scenarios in a microcellular system
