timestamp • Timestamp can be used to derive velocity • Hand over points will be annotated with timestamps • Interpolation is done between hand over points • Timing works better for rural than urban areas Fußzeile
rural and urban areas • Trajectories have been validate with GPS tracks • Timing problems were discovered when hand over sequence was week " Voronoi partitioning " Network load Fußzeile
subscribers • They are very precise enough for mobile network simulations • Cover the whole network • Adapt to seasonal changes • Timing information can be added • A better representation of the coverage area is needed Fußzeile
