Abstract
<p>This paper investigates the handover optimization in LTE networks. We first examine the LTE network structure and various handover schemes. Then, we compare the features of different network simulation tools, such as NS-2, NS-3, OMNET++, PeerSim, JiST, and OPNET. Based on the comparison, we argue that NS-3 is the best choice for LTE handover optimization. Finally, we introduce the ns-3 simulator and demonstrate how to implement LTE handover scenarios in it.</p>
