Patent ID: 8725154

Claim:
A handover properties estimation system for estimating handover properties in a mobile communication system, the system comprising: a moving-route extraction unit which extracts moving routes that pass through a handover area or an area neighboring the handover area, wherein the handover area is defined as an area in which a handover process occurs between cells in the mobile communication system, and wherein the moving routes are extracted from map information of the handover area or the neighboring area; and a moving-route handover properties calculation unit which calculates handover properties for moving routes extracted by the moving-route extraction unit, by use of radio-wave environment information of the moving routes, wherein the moving-route handover properties calculation unit calculates the handover properties on the moving routes based on a received-signal quality obtained when a mobile terminal of the mobile communication system travels along the moving routes, and wherein the moving-route handover properties calculation unit calculates the received-signal quality and adds an effect of a radio-wave fluctuation in the mobile terminal to the calculated received-signal quality.
