It is widely accepted that the coverage with high user densities can only be achieved with small cell such as Micro / Pico-cell. The smaller cell size causes frequent handoffs between cells and a decrease in the permissible handoff processing delay. This may result in the handoff failure, in addition to the loss of some packets during the handoff. In this paper we propose new handoff control scheme in the next generation mobile communications, in which the handoff setup process is done in advance before a handoff request by predicting the handoff cell based on mobile terminal’s current position and moving direction.
