A Topology-Based QoS Adaptive Mobility Prediction Scheme For Cellular Networks

Abstract

This paper presents a QOS adaptive cell cluster generation scheme for mobile communication systems of the 3rd and 4th generation which is used to predict the mobiles future path with a given prediction accuracy. Based on the prediction by partial match algorithm it combines the statistical information derived from the users movement history with topological information about the cell region to predict a future cell cluster to be visited by that user. Numerical results show that the new scheme is robust against insufficient statistical information and has an improvement over schemes only utilizing statistical data derived from handover information.
