abstract = {This letter establishes the similarity between the sensor
scheduling problem and the handoff (i.e., base
station assignment) problem in cellular networks. A mobile user behavior is then
modelled by a Hidden
Markov Model (HMM).
The handoff problem is formulated as an
optimization problem of base station scheduling
that minimizes a cost function that involves the HMM state estimation error and
base station measurement costs. The optimization
problem can be solved using algorithms known as
partially observed Markov decision processes.}
