Cooperative and Coordinated Mobile Femtocells Technology in High-Speed Vehicular Environments

“…As a result, future vehicles and transportation systems may play an integral role in wireless networks by providing additional communication capabilities and becoming part of the internet communication infrastructure. Thus, Mobile-Femto technology is seen to be a promising solution for the future networks to improve vehicular UEs performance inside public transportation [1]. This study has clearly shown that vehicular UEs are more exposed to high VPL and path loss inside public transportation.…”

Mobility Management for Vehicular User Equipment in LTE/Mobile Femtocell Networks

“…The high UEs speed makes it impossible for those vehicular UEs to have long connection with the serving small cells outside the vehicle as this may increase the number of unnecessary HOs because the number of HOs is inversely proportional to the cell size. High number of HOs implies that there is an increase in the signalling load, and this has a negative impact on the achieved throughput, as there is no data transmission during the HO period (Raheem et al, 2017).…”
