Abstract(in English) Small cells are considered to be a key technology for the future mobile networks to meet the high-demand of wireless resources in highly populated area, such as downtown area of big cities. Frequent handovers during communications are one of the side effects of small cells. During handover process, it degrades application layer performance since interruption of connectivity is inevitable. In this paper, we investigate a novel approach to reduce the number of handovers by using application service information in addition to network layer measurement. Our approach links information available from a cloud-based Driving Direction Navigation Service to handover process. This method establishes a combination of information both from current measurement and future prediction. Therefore, we need more sophisticated strategies to determine the target base stations to make a handover. We show our proposed approach effectively reduces the number of handovers. We also investigate strategies for selecting base stations when multiple mobile user terminals coexist in near-by zones. We show the effectiveness of our proposal for the case of multiple mobile user equipment using ns-3 simulator.
