Enhanced handover mechanism in long term evolution (LTE) networks

Over the past decade, there have been great interests in cellular and fixed radio access technologies for providing mobile, nomadic and fixed telecommunication services. The fast pace development of this technology and the challenges it presents due to the increasing number of user equipments and th...
