Wireless networks with mobile relay nodes support broadband wireless communications for passengers of such vehicles using backhaul links. However, the mobility management entity reuses the handover of existing user equipment, resulting in the handover of the Long-Term Evolution network being unsuitable for user equipment within the cabins of vehicles traveling at high speed. In this paper, we propose a self-optimizing handover hysteresis scheme with dual mobile relay nodes for wireless networks in high-speed mobile environments. The proposed mechanism tunes the hysteresis and cell individual offset handover parameters based on the velocity of the vehicle and the handover performance indicator, which affects the handover triggering decision and performance. The results of simulations conducted in which the performance of the proposed scheme was compared to that of an existing scheme show that the proposed scheme can reduce the number of radio link failures and service interruptions during handover procedures.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/fi7020196","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,11]],"date-time":"2015-06-11T10:44:59Z","timestamp":1434019499000},"page":"196-213","update-policy":"https:\/\/linproxy.fan.workers.dev:443\/https\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Self-Optimization of Handover Parameters for Long-Term Evolution with Dual Wireless Mobile Relay Nodes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Battulga","family":"Davaasambuu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduated School of Global Information and Telecommunication Studies, Waseda University, Bldg.
