摘要 In high-mobility non-terrestrial networks (NTN), the reference signal received power (RSRP)-based handover (RBH) mechanism is often unsuitable due to its limitations in handling dynamic satellite movements. RSRP, a key metric in cellular networks, measures the received power of reference signals from a base station or satellite and is widely used for handover decision-making. However, in NTN environments, the high mobility of satellites causes frequent RSRP fluctuations, making RBH ineffective in managing handovers, often leading to excessive ping-pong handovers and a high handover failure rate. To address this challenge, we propose an innovative approach called location-based handover with particle filter and reinforcement learning (LBH-PRL). This approach integrates a particle filter to estimate the distance between user equipment (UE) and NTN satellites, combined with reinforcement learning (RL), to dynamically adjust hysteresis, time-to-trigger (TTT), and handover decisions to better adapt to the mobility characteristics of NTN. Unlike the location-based handover (LBH) approach, LBH-PRL introduces adaptive parameter tuning based on environmental dynamics, significantly improving handover decision-making robustness and adaptability, thereby reducing unnecessary handovers. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed LBH-PRL approach significantly outperforms conventional LBH and RBH mechanisms in key performance metrics, including reducing the average number of handovers, lowering the ping-pong rate, and minimizing the handover failure rate. These improvements highlight the effectiveness of LBH-PRL in enhancing handover efficiency and service continuity in NTN environments, providing a robust solution for intelligent mobility management in high-mobility NTN scenarios.
