While network densification is considered an important solution to cater the ever-increasing
capacity demand, its effect on the handover (HO) rate is overlooked. In dense 5G networks …

Recently, green networks are considered as one of the hottest topics in Information and
Communication Technology (ICT), especially in mobile communication networks. In a green …

Network densification has always been an important factor to cope with the ever increasing
capacity demand. Deploying more base stations (BSs) improves the spatial frequency …

Purpose Vertical handover has been grown rapidly due to the mobility model improvements.
These improvements are limited to certain circumstances and do not provide the support in …

The industry standard 3GPP mobility solutions are analyzed through the lens of bandit
learning theory. In particular, it is shown that the original 3GPP handover protocol …

The fifth generation mobile networks must deal with the explosive growth of traffic load and
connected devices, and also reliably reduce latency. Particularly, seamless mobility is …

Handover (HO) management is one of the most crucial tasks in dense cellular networks with
mobile users. A problem in the HO management is to deal with increasing HOs due to …

Handover has been a widely studied topic since the beginning of the mobile
communications era, but with the advent of another generation, it is worth seeing it with fresh …

The unexpected change in user equipment (UE) velocity is recognized as the primary
explanation for poor handover quality. In order to resolve this issue, while limiting ping-pong …

This paper elaborates on Conditional Handover (CHO) modelling, aimed at maximizing the
use of contention free random access (CFRA) during mobility. This is a desirable behavior …
