5G and Wireless Communication for Beginners - Understanding Cellular Call Hand-offs

The lecture transitions from discussing 3G's intent to practical challenges, focusing on spectrum sharing and the increasing user base. It explains the call connection process and introduces the concept of handoff, highlighting its importance and challenges. The lecture concludes by discussing the limitations of increasing cell density as a solution due to the complexity and computational intensity of handoffs.

What happens when a user switches cells during a call?

Why is it important to maintain a smooth transition during a handoff?

Discuss the implications of increasing the number of handoffs in a cellular network.
