scholarly journals Handoff Control in Satellite Communication Applying Multi Billboard Manager Method

LEO satellites play an important role in global communication system. LEO satellites have some advantages over GEO and MEO satellites, in respect of power requirement, end-to-end delay & more efficient frequency spectrum. But the main problem of LEO satellite, is that they have large relative speed than the speed of mobile nodes (MN) and earth, so that the handover occurrence is more. As a result, the call blocking probability (Pb ) and force call termination probability (Pf ) is higher. To overcome this problem, Billboard manager based handover (BMBHO) was introduced to reduce the scanning time significantly and also to reduce the Pf . But the main problem of single billboard manager (BM) is that, since all handover requests have to be processed from a single point. In this paper, we have proposed the concept of multi-billboard manager based handover (MBMHO) method to resolve this problem. Thus, handover request will be served more efficiently so that both Pb and Pf are minimized than the BMBHO method.

Presently, the emergence of 4G heterogeneous network has attracted most of the user centric applications like video chatting, online mobile interactive classroom besides voice services. To facilitate such bandwidth hungry multimedia applications and to ensure QoS (Quality of Service), Always Best Connected (ABC) network is to be selected among available heterogeneous network. The selection of the ABC network is based on certain design parameters such as cost factor, bandwidth utilization, packet delivery ratio, security, throughput, delay, packet loss ratio and call blocking probability. In this paper, all the above mentioned design parameters are considered to evaluate the performance of Always Best Connected network under heterogeneous environment for mobile users. In addition, to select Always Best Connected network in a heterogeneous environment, a novel parameter namely recent call history-‘rch' is proposed to predict the call blocking probability (Cbp) of a network.The estimation of ‘rch' parameter in terms of Cbp avoids unnecessary hand-off and enhances the effective bandwidth utilization of a cellular network under heavy load condition.A QoS mapper submodule is proposed in the QoS broker module to predict the ‘rch' parameter of a network to select an optimum network. Further, a statistcal model based on Bayesian network using the data on recent call history is applied for Cbp estimation and simulated over various heterogeneous environment condition. The simulated results show improved performance of user centric applications when compared with non-predictive methods.
