Optimization of Handover in Wireless Cellular Networks Utilizing Neyman-Pearson Criterion

Abstract: The forced termination probability with respect to handoff call is very critical as it�s less desirable to subscribers than the blocking probability of new call. This paper proposes analytic and simulation models to optimize the performance of hand-off calls using Neyman-Pearson criterion (NP). It is observed that using the NP criterion gives high priority to hand-off attempts over initial access attempts without degrading the initial access seeks.
