Handover and Call Drop Optimization Techniques

Optimization initiatives typically involve leveraging advanced technologies and enhancing existing network systems to improve Quality of Service (QoS). These efforts may include eliminating redundant data, implementing data compression, enhancing application delivery, and applying traffic shaping techniques to reduce packet loss. This article aims to support on-site engineers in addressing handover and call drop issues. Handover-related challenges continue to pose significant problems for telecommunications providers in The Gambia and globally. Although researchers have made considerable progress in the field of wireless communications, many issues remain unresolved. Handover is closely associated with call drops, as handover failures often result in dropped calls. Therefore, addressing handover-related call drops is a key component of optimizing handover success rates. This paper outlines methods for evaluating network handover and call drop performance, as well as testing and troubleshooting techniques.
