Abstract :
A new handover algorithm suitable for implementation in modern cellular mobile radio systems, such as GSM or UMTS, is proposed and its performance assessed. The algorithm is based on the gradient of measured power values. Both the uplink and the downlink measurements are considered. The simulation results show a performance improvement with respect to traditional algorithms
