Abstract

Over the years, a great advancement has been seen in the field of the wireless communication. Many new access technologies have been developed along with the existing wireless access technologies. For an efficient wireless communication system, a seamless handoff from one type of access technology to another type of access technology is needed. So that a user can enjoy all the wireless access technologies’ services at the same time without an interruption in the ongoing call or data session. In this paper, we have discussed about the various types of handoffs in wireless communication. A review of work done on the Handoffs is given and then a detailed LTE-Handoff procedure is explained along with the parameters of handoffs in LTE and the phases of handoffs in LTE are also explained.
