I. INTRODUCTION
Sometimes, when you are browsing internet in your
car/bus, the internet is slower or even disconnect because 3G
networks coverage cannot cover maximally while you are
moving at high speed. Technically, this problem happened
because the handover/hand-off is failure. LTE as the next
generation provides a lot of features such as a very high data
speed and low transfer delay which allow the user to use many
application simultaneously without any disconnection and
buffering although the user moves with very high speed
movement.
LTE is the fourth generation after UMTS (3G) network,
which developed by the third generation partnership project
(3GPP) release 8. LTE provides a higher transmission speed up
to 100 Mbps in the downlink and 75 Mbps in the uplink using
orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) and
single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA)
technique respectively. By integrating it with multiple inputs
and multiple outputs (MIMO) technology, LTE can achieve
300 Mbps throughput.

There are three nodes in red colors. The first one is serving
eNodeB node which located at 1000 m from UE. The middle
one is UE node and the last one is neighbor eNodeB which is
located at 2000 m from UE. Besides that, figure3 shows the
handover request time from serving cell to neighbor cell. The
time request happen at 50.6 seconds, which means the UE, is
going to handover at 1518 m or 518 m far away from the
source eNodeB. For more detail, see the following figure:
