Femtocell networks that use Home evolved NodeB
(HeNB) and existing networks for backhaul connectivity can
fulfill the upcoming demand for high data rates in wireless
communication systems as well as extend the coverage area. In
this paper we seem handover between femtocell and macrocell
as a heterogeneous handover and apply the Host Identity
Protocol (HIP) with Media Independent Handover (MIH) to
achieve handover execution. It considers handover parameters
for, including interference, velocity, RSS and quality of service
(QoS) level. We propose a new handover strategy based on
HIP between the femtocell and the macrocell for LTE (Long
Term Evolution) -based networks in hybrid access mode. This
strategy can avoid unnecessary handovers and can reduce
handover failure.
