TY - JOUR TI - Handover Algorithms in LTE Networks for Massive Means of Transport PB - Universidad Icesi PY - 2018 issn 1692-5238 AB - Handover in LTE occurs when a device moves from the cell coverage serving it towards another; a pro - cess where the user established session must not be interrupted due to this cell change. Handovers in LTE are classified as hard ones, since the link with the serving cell is interrupted before establishing the new link with the target cell. This entails a larger failure risk and, consequently, a potential deterioration in the quality of service. This article presents a review of the handover algorithms in LTE, focusing on the ones oriented to massive means of transport. We show how the new algorithms offer a larger success in handovers, increasing the networkdata rate. This indicates that factors such as speed, position, and direction should be included in the algorithms to improve the handover in means of transport. We also present the algorithms focused on mobile relays such as an important study field for future research works.
