Handover Performance over a Coordinated Contiguous Carrier Aggregation Deployment Scenario in the LTE-Advanced System

Algorithm 1

Handover Decision Algorithm.
(1) If Target_RSRP > Serving_RSRP + HOM then
(2)  If Trigger_timer ≥ TTT then
(3)   Handover Decission ← True
(4)  else
(5)    Handover_Decission ← false
(6)    Run Trigger Timer
(7)  end
(8) else
(9)   Handover_Decission ← false
(10)    Reset Trigger Timer
(11) end
HOM: Handover Margin Value.
TTT: Time-to-Trigger.
