- Abstract
To enhance the overall communication rate and capacity of mobile networks, a real-time application (RTA)-classification vertical handover (Ac-VHO) scheme is presented for indoor visible light communication (VLC) heterogeneous networks. The scheme considers user mobility, optical link instability, and the variability of real-time applications. It incorporates VLC line-of-sight (LOS) blocking and MT entry into co-channel interference (CCI) areas as triggers, while also providing differentiated delay tolerance intervals and optimized handover dwell time calculations for various RTAs, including video, audio (VoIP), and web/text. A simulation and comparative analysis demonstrate the superior performance of Ac-VHO in terms of signaling cost, and its average rate compared to other methods (hybrid application-aware VHO, dynamic time-dwelling VHO, and static time-dwelling VHO). In addition, it maintains a consistent and relatively high overall quality of user experience (QoE) for different RTA types.
