Abstract: | In future generation mobile cellular systems, position location of mobile terminal is expected to be available. In this paper,
we propose an initiation algorithm for intersystem handover based on the combination of position location of mobile terminal
and the absolute signal strength thresholds. Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) and Universal Mobile Telecommunication
Systems (UMTS) networks are considered for interworking. The proposed algorithm reduces the handover rate by around 50% and
thus improves the network resource efficiency as compared to that based on signal strength thresholds only. |
