Cellular technologies are continuously growing. Because of these reason, 3G cellular technology has been implemented. In UMTS, services are categorized into four UMTS quality of services classes. The handover is significant characteristic of UMTS technology and is the major problem faced in implementation phase. The efficient handover process defines QoS of network. This paper addresses the analysis of different handover scenarios executed in 3G UMTS network for four different qualities of service classes. Different scenarios are created for soft and hard handovers in OPNET 14.5 Modeler simulator and conclusion are compiled for each quality of service class from analysis of results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
