Mobility management in LTE heterogeneous networks

This book is the first of its kind, compiling information on the Long-Term Evolution (LTE) standards, which are enhanced to address new mobility-related challenges in Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets).

It identifies the related challenges and discusses solutions and the simulation methodology for modeling HetNet mobility - cutting-edge information that was previously accessible only in the form of 3GPP specifications and documents, and research papers.

The book reviews the current LTE mobility framework and discusses some of the changes for enhancing mobility management in HetNets.

It describes the measurement procedures, handover (HO) mechanisms and HO success/failure scenarios.
