| description | This paper proposes a multifrequency seamless dual-link handover scheme based on beamforming for the high-speed railway (HSR) communication, i.e., when the train travels to the edge of overlapping area of the adjacent two cells, a gain beam is assigned to the overlapping area by the target base station (BS) using a beamforming technique to cover the entire region to enhance the received signal strength (RSS) and handover opportunity. The switching antenna is allowed to handover multiple times to improve the traditional scheme and reduce the handover failure probability (HFP) greatly. In the process of signal reception, considering the impact of the intercell cochannel interference on the RSS, the proposed scheme uses signal to interference ratio (SIR) instead of the RSS to indicate the received signal quality to optimize handover mode. The handover success probability (HSP) is analyzed to describe the relationship between train location and the probability. We also establish a probabilistic model and corresponding handover algorithm for the proposed scheme to complete the handover operations and theoretically analyze a series of indexes including handover trigger probability (HTP), HFP, communication interruption probability (CIP), and HSP. Theoretical and experimental results show that the proposed scheme can effectively improve the HTP and HSP and greatly reduce the HFP and the CIP. |
