Various speed scenarios such as high-speed travelling trains and connected drones over
ultra-dense heterogeneous networks (HetNets) may result in a large number of handovers …

The evolution of 5G small cell networks has led to the advancement of vertical handover
decision-making algorithms. A mobile terminal (MT) tends to move from one place to another …

Since the advent of 1G through 5G networks, telecommunication industry has gone through
phenomenal transformation in the way we communicate, we work, and we socialize. In …

We propose a cell selection scheme based on the moving direction and velocity of a user
that reduces the number of handovers resulting from the 5G multi-layered Radio Access …

Cellular networks are undergoing a major shift in their deployment and optimization. New
infrastructure elements, such as small base stations, are being massively deployed, thus …

In recent mobile networks, due to the huge number of subscribers, the traffic may occur
rapidly; therefore, it is complex to guarantee the accurate operation of the network. On the …

The extensive use of small base stations (BSs) in the fifth Generation (5G) raises the
probability of handover (HO) which will subsequently increase the incidences of handover …

To ensure a seamless mobility of users in the scenario with flying base stations (FlyBSs) and
static ground base stations (GBSs), an efficient handover mechanism is required. In this …

The ultra-dense network (UDN) is considered a vital technology for 5G mobile
communications due to its ability to transmit high data rates in high-traffic environments …

In recent years, heterogeneous networks (HetNets) have drawn a lot of attention to
connecting devices that will enable everything to become smart, efficient, and fast. These …
