Abstract
A handover control apparatus and an operation method of a handover control apparatus are provided. The handover control apparatus includes an information identification unit which ascertains movement direction information of a terminal and location information of a plurality of neighboring RASs adjacent to the terminal and a scanning order determination unit which determines a scanning order for a handover with respect to the plurality of neighboring RASs using the movement direction information of the terminal and the location information of the plurality of neighboring RASs.
Claims24
A handover control apparatus, comprising:
- an information identification unit of a terminal, the information identification unit being configured to ascertain a direction of movement of the terminal, and a location of each of neighboring radio access stations (RASs);
- and
- a scanning order determination unit of the terminal, the scanning order determination unit being configured to
- determine whether the location of each of the neighboring RASs is in a same direction as the direction of movement of the terminal, and
- determine an order of scanning the neighboring RASs for a handover based on a distance between the terminal and at least one of the neighboring RASs in response to the location of the at least one of the neighboring RASs being determined to be in the same direction as the direction of movement of the terminal.
An operation method of a handover control apparatus, the operation method comprising:
- ascertaining, by a terminal, a direction of movement of the terminal, and a location of each of neighboring radio access stations (RASs);
- determining, by the terminal, whether the location of each of the neighboring RASs is in a same direction as the direction movement of the terminal;
- and
- determining, by the terminal, an order of scanning the neighboring RASs for a handover based on a distance between the terminal and at least one of the neighboring RASs in response to the location of the at least one of the neighboring RASs being determined to be in the same direction as the direction of movement of the terminal.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program for implementing an operation method of a handover control apparatus, the operation method comprising:
- ascertaining, by a terminal, a direction of movement of the terminal, and a location of each of neighboring radio access stations (RASs);
- determining, by the terminal, whether the location of each of the neighboring RASs is in a same direction as the direction movement of the terminal;
- and
- determining, by the terminal, an order of scanning the neighboring RASs for a handover based on a distance between the terminal and at least one of the neighboring RASs in response to the location of the at least one of the neighboring RASs being determined to be in the same direction as the direction of movement of the terminal.
