The handover procedure is critical for a smooth connection in a Long Term Evolution
Advanced (LTE-A) network. However, when the number of user equipment (UE) in a cell …

In LTE networks, when a user moves from one sector to another sector within the same eNB,
it's essential to keep the ongoing call steady. This occurrence is referred to as a handover …

With the emblematical expansion of telecommunication networks, high data rate, and low
latency for User Equipment (UE) has arisen. 3GPP introduced Long Term Evolution (LTE) …

In this work, a new handover parameter optimization algorithm for the LTE-A networks is
presented. Most of the previous solutions that are proposed to solve the handover parameter …

Classical wireless cellular networks configure semi-static values of handover decision
parameters, which are usually been modified manually by the operator at a certain time …

The heterogeneous distribution of user's mobility and traffic profiles in mobile networks leads
to challenges handling localized network congestions and radio links failures (RLF). Mobility …

Handover Parameter Optimization (HPO) and Load Balancing (LB) are two Self-
Organization network (SON) aspects which aim at improving LTE system handover …

With the increasing demand on data rate in 5G mobile networks, the deployment of small
cells such as Femto Access Points (FAP) and device-device (D2D) communications in …

Abstract The Long-Term Evolution technology called 4G is a recent expertise that was
presented by 3GPP for smooth system migration. The main issues in LTE networks are …

This article introduces an enhanced version of previously developed self-optimizing
algorithm that controls the handover (HO) parameters of a long-term evolution base station …
