Abstract

We present the handoff techniques required to support mobile end-users in 60GHz Radio-over-Fiber (RoF) networks. We analyze the dominant handoff algorithms proposed for 60GHz RoF networks in outdoor environments, by emphasizing to the corresponding handoff algorithms that can be applied in high speed vehicular communications, i.e. Moving Cell (MC), Moving Extended Cell (MEC) and Virtual Cellular Zone (VCZ), respectively. We finally present the results of the corresponding simulation scenarios we performed, in order to demonstrate and evaluate the performance of the handoff algorithms and confirm that, at least some of them could be safely applied in high-speed vehicular RoF architectures, even for challenging services such as High-Definition TV and Ultra High-Definition TV.
