Detailed Description

The abstract base class of a handover algorithm that operates using the Handover Management SAP interface.

Handover algorithm receives measurement reports from an eNode RRC instance and tells the eNodeB RRC instance when to do a handover.

This class is an abstract class intended to be inherited by subclasses that implement its virtual methods. By inheriting from this abstract class, the subclasses gain the benefits of being compatible with the LteEnbNetDevice class, being accessible using namespace-based access through ns-3 Config subsystem, and being installed and configured by LteHelper class (see LteHelper::SetHandoverAlgorithmType and LteHelper::SetHandoverAlgorithmAttribute methods).

The communication with the eNodeB RRC instance is done through the Handover Management SAP interface. The handover algorithm instance corresponds to the "provider" part of this interface, while the eNodeB RRC instance takes the role of the "user" part. The following code skeleton establishes the connection between both instances:

Ptr<LteEnbRrc> u = ...;
Ptr<LteHandoverAlgorithm> p = ...;
u->SetLteHandoverManagementSapProvider (p->GetLteHandoverManagementSapProvider ());
p->SetLteHandoverManagementSapUser (u->GetLteHandoverManagementSapUser ());

However, user rarely needs to use the above code, since it has already been taken care by LteHelper::InstallEnbDevice.

Member Function Documentation

void ns3::LteHandoverAlgorithm::DoDispose ( void  )
protectedvirtual

This method is called by Object::Dispose or by the object's destructor, whichever comes first.

Subclasses are expected to implement their real destruction code in an overriden version of this method and chain up to their parent's implementation once they are done. i.e., for simplicity, the destructor of every subclass should be empty and its content should be moved to the associated DoDispose method.

It is safe to call GetObject from within this method.

Reimplemented from ns3::Object.

Reimplemented in ns3::A2A4RsrqHandoverAlgorithm, ns3::A3RsrpHandoverAlgorithm, and ns3::NoOpHandoverAlgorithm.
