Femtocell handover is more exigent than normal macrocell cellular handover because the backhaul network is different and there is also little possibility of direct communication between the macrocell and the femtocell. In this paper we have analysed the prevailing handover strategy, where Femtocell deployed in LTE Network and a new handover strategy between macrocell and femtocell for LTE-based network in hybrid access mode named RWTL-HO algorithm has also been proposed. This new strategy can avoid unnecessary handover and reduce handover failure. © 2005 - 2012 JATIT &amp; LLS. All rights reserved.
