Method and system for performing handover (HO) in a long-range land-to-sea (LRLS) wireless network

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to a method and system for performing Handover (HO) in a Long-Range Land-To-Sea (LRLS) wireless network. The Customer-Premises Equipment (CPE) comprises an Antenna Array (AA). The HO management system scans one or more inactive AAs of CPE based on configuration parameters. Further, one of Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) throughput values are retrieved on uplink and downlink. Thereafter, one of SNR and MCS throughput values on uplink and downlink are processed for determining a target AA. Further, system performs inter-network HO to Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) network when cell edge is detected on target AA or inter-AA HO to target AA otherwise. Lastly, a network re-entry is initiated to target AA from the VSAT when network re-entry is detected on target AA based on processing one of the SNR or the MCS throughput values in uplink and downlink.
