Analysis and Improvement of mobility procedures for mobile relays in LTE networks Yangyang Chen, Xavier Lagrange Institut Mines Telecom / TELECOM Bretagne IRISA, Rennes, France Email:{yangyang.chen, xavier.lagrange@telecom-bretagne.eu} Abstract—With the popularity of smart phones and tablets, speed trains in order to optimize handover. In [11], the authors people make intensive use of these devices on public transport. It discussed several architecture alternatives for mobile relays is thus interesting to deploy mobile relays in public transportation and proposed optimized mobile relay handover procedures with the aim of offering high-quality services. In LTE Rel 10 fixed relays are specified. Although mobile relays have been considered based on mobility area. Mobility area is a set of eNodeBs. by 3GPP, no protocol stack is specified yet. In this paper, we Path switches for vehicular UEs are only performed when propose to keep the same protocol stack as for fixed relays but mobility area changes. Handover latencies of the procedures introduce the concept of global tunnel, which gathers several are analyzed. However, this proposal requires extra planning tunnels. We analyze the main signaling procedures and show effort on the operator side and some upgrades of the standard that the proposed solution dramatically reduces the number of messages that each network node should process. 3GPP based protocols. Until now, no specification is defined Index Terms—Mobile Relay; Global Tunnel; Signaling Proce- for relay node mobility. Several proposals are stu
