Abstract

Wireless Communication on Train (WCT) is being followed in urban railways around the world to enhance the railway network efficiency, safety, and capacity which are mainly carried in high speed trains and underground tunnels. In this work, various models have been compared to enhance performance. A finite state markov (FSMC) model is used for low handover latency and high data throughput. Frequent handovers is overcome by LTE and GSM-R based solution. Network mobility (NEMO), CDMA and MIMO combine with carrier aggregation to give high throughputs. This concept reduces, the cost of base stations and antenna by the moving cell concept, FSO and PTC concept.
