A proposed solution to enhance mobile telecommunication infrastructure in Kuching, Sarawak

Wireless communication systems must be able to provide an optimum, distortion-free link regardless of the obstructions and irregularities in the propagation environment. The Telecommunication industry in East Malaysia (Sarawak) is still developing, under limitations due to terrain, tropical rainforest conditions and scattered population. Therefore, the service level figures are poorer in Sarawak, even as the demand for mobile networks in Sarawak Is comparatively higher. In this paper, we are proposing and simulating solutions to overcome the mobile telecommunication connectivity problems in Kuching, Sarawak. The study shows that an optimum handoll performance can be achieved by using a stable handoff algorithm and coverage can be improved by adding microcells. This study focuses on a static mobile node handoff and lower antenna height problems.
