Handover Delay Analysis on Cellular Communication for Connected Car Application in Urban Area

Abstract

The study on delay of cellular communication is conducted by considering handover session in urban area. The experiment was performed on three distinct devices to study the handover delay based on 2G and 3G connectivity. Handover delay experienced by a moving vehicle was measured based on the data transmission latency during communication transfer session from previous cell network area that is passed by the vehicle to a new cell network area. From this experiment, the best selection of wireless communication module by considering the handover delay in urban area is determined by suited module to be use on connected car system.
