- 5G (Fifth Generation): 5G refers to the fifth generation of mobile networks, succeeding 4G (LTE/WiMAX). It aims to provide faster data rates, lower latency, increased capacity, and support for a massive number of connected devices.
- Inter-RAT (Radio Access Technology) Handover: Inter-RAT handover involves the transfer of a mobile device's connection from one radio access technology to another. In the context of 5G, this could mean transitioning between 5G and other existing technologies like 4G (LTE), 3G (UMTS), or even 2G (GSM) networks.
Here's a general outline of what an Inter-RAT handover involves:
- Measurement: The mobile device measures the quality of the signal from neighboring cells of different radio access technologies.
- Triggering Handover: When the quality of the current connection drops below a certain threshold, the handover process is triggered.
- Handover Decision: The network makes a decision on the target cell and technology for handover based on the measured parameters.
- Preparation: Necessary preparations are made in both the source and target cells to facilitate the handover.
- Execution: The actual handover process takes place, involving the transfer of the connection from the source to the target cell.
- Verification: The system verifies the success of the handover and ensures that the mobile device is connected to the new cell with optimal parameters.
- Optimization: Fine-tuning of parameters and optimization may occur to ensure the best possible performance.
