Design and implementation of a layer-II fast handoff protocol in emergency communication system by Fang-min LI, Le ZENG, Yi SHEN, Tao ZHANG

“…Immobility,limited bandwidth and poor support to real-time service are common shortcomings in traditional emergency communication system.Moreover,the data transmission speed is highly limited in high-speed services by the long handoff delay and fixed handoff trigger threshold when the mobile terminals moving between network nodes.In order to overcome these shortcomings,a new emergency communication system with multifrequency hierarchical clustering structure was designed.A new layer-II fast handoff protocol was designed for such network structure to deal with handoff issue in real-time services.In this handoff protocol,the handoff trigger threshold is self-adaption based on the moving velocity of mobile terminals.…”

Research on VoWi-Fi interoperability based on 5G network by Hao XU, Lin WU

“…By referring to the service network architecture and interoperation scheme of VoWi-Fi under 4G, the differences of the service network architecture and interoperation scheme of VoWi-Fi under 5G were studied and analyzed.Under the current situation that the network and terminal industry chain didn’t support the interoperability between standalone (SA) and Wi-Fi, a workaround scheme for interoperation in the transitional period was proposed, and the terminal and network side configuration suggestions were given to realize the interoperation between VoWi-Fi and VoLTE based on 5G network to ensure that users were unaware.The feasibility of this scheme was verified by practical tests.It provides reference for the actual deployment of VoWi-Fi.…”

Smart distribution communication network planning strategy based on optimal cost and network load by Yirong WANG, Yanru WANG, Yanhua HE, Yonghui WANG, Liangrui TANG

“…Considering of the characteristics such as small amount data of single communication terminal node and large scale distribution of terminal nodes,the strategy of network planning should increase the number of access nodes and maximize the capacity of the network.In the macro and micro base station deployment,the macro base station and the micro base station were simultaneously deployed to provide more deployment options for the micro base station.Based on the analysis of the demand of smart distribution network communication services and the drawbacks of the existing network planning,a multi-objective optimization model was established and a single objective optimization model was established for comparative analysis.Finally,the superiority of the strategy was proved from the scheme diagram and network performance analysis.…”
