Handover algorithm implementation based on RSRQ measurements, Event A2 and Event A4.
Handover decision made by this algorithm is primarily based on Event A2 measurements (serving cell's RSRQ becomes worse than threshold). When the event is triggered, the first condition of handover is fulfilled.
Event A4 measurements (neighbour cell's RSRQ becomes better than threshold) are used to detect neighbouring cells and their respective RSRQ. When a neighbouring cell's RSRQ is higher than the serving cell's RSRQ by a certain offset, then the second condition of handover is fulfilled.
When the first and second conditions above are fulfilled, the algorithm informs the eNodeB RRC to trigger a handover.
The threshold for Event A2 can be configured in the ServingCellThreshold
attribute. The offset used in the second condition can also be configured by setting the NeighbourCellOffset
attribute.
The following code snippet is an example of using and configuring the handover algorithm in a simulation program:
Ptr<LteHelper> lteHelper = CreateObject<LteHelper> (); NodeContainer enbNodes; // configure the nodes here... lteHelper->SetHandoverAlgorithmType ("ns3::A2A4RsrqHandoverAlgorithm"); lteHelper->SetHandoverAlgorithmAttribute ("ServingCellThreshold", UintegerValue (30)); lteHelper->SetHandoverAlgorithmAttribute ("NeighbourCellOffset", UintegerValue (1)); NetDeviceContainer enbLteDevs = lteHelper->InstallEnbDevice (enbNodes);

Destructor implementation.
This method is called by Dispose() or by the Object's destructor, whichever comes first.
Subclasses are expected to implement their real destruction code in an overridden version of this method and chain up to their parent's implementation once they are done. i.e, for simplicity, the destructor of every subclass should be empty and its content should be moved to the associated DoDispose() method.
It is safe to call GetObject() from within this method.

Initialize() implementation.
This method is called only once by Initialize(). If the user calls Initialize() multiple times, DoInitialize() is called only the first time.
Subclasses are expected to override this method and chain up to their parent's implementation once they are done. It is safe to call GetObject() and AggregateObject() from within this method.
