Design and Implementation of Handover Procedure Related to Radio Resource Control Layer over UE in TD-LTE System

Abstract:

In order to guarantee the high rate, high throughput and low latency and reliable service provided by TD-LTE system under various mobility conditions, handover (HO) procedure and its performance are of high importance. Based on research on structure of TD-LTE system and RRC (Radio Resource Control) layer, this paper proposed intra-system handover procedure in RRC layer of UE side. Simulation of the proposed design and implementation on SDL (Specification and Description Language) /TTCN (Tree and Tabular Combined Notation) verified its conforming to 3GPP conformance protocol specification. Finally, proposed design was verified on the chip ARM1176JZF-S with the corresponding software.
