Exploiting Dual Connectivity for Handover Management in Heterogeneous Aeronautical Network

In this paper, by introducing the software-defined networking (SDN) controller, we conduct traffic scheduling under dual connectivity (DC) pattern to support handover management in the heterogeneous aeronautical network. First, we construct a stochastic optimization problem of handover overhead with...
