Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng): At handover between base stations in Long Term Evolution (LTE), data is forwarded from a source eNB to a target eNB.
The mechanism for handling the packet forwarding is specified in Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 8 specifications.
The goal of the thesis is to analyse, evaluate and improve the packet forwarding mechanism.
The techniques to reduce the amount of forwarded data in the downlink will be studied as a part of the thesis.
Such enhancements include modifications to the Radio Link Control (RLC) protocol, as well as improved interactions with other layers, most notably Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) and Radio Resource Control (RRC).
Performance criteria considered for evaluating these techniques include the PDCP buffer size at the source eNB, uplink RLC status load and user object bit rate.

The thesis recommends the LTE network to poll the UE more frequently during the ongoing handover scenarios, compared to the case when handover is not ongoing.
This allows the source eNB to be as up to date to the UE reception state as possible, and thus reduces the number of unacknowledged PDCP SDUs to he forwarded to the target eNB.
Based on the simulation results, this proposed technique proves to be the most efficient in terms of lower PDCP buffer size at the source eNB, lower uplink RLC status load and higher user object bit rate.
