In mobile communication networks, the handover procedure enables a continuous
communication service for users on the move. However, handovers, handover failures, and …

The handover process is one of the most critical functions in a cellular network and is in
charge of maintaining seamless connectivity of user equipments across multiple cells. The …

A model is provided for the analysis of handover initiation algorithms in cellular systems,
which are based on the averages of signal strength measurements and hysteresis. An …

Carrier aggregation and integration of heterogeneous networks allow the mobile user
equipment to benefit from wider bandwidth and radio coverage of different access …

Inter-system handover is important for 4G/5G networks as these heterogeneous wireless
networks (HWNs) have integrated different radio access technologies with diverse levels of …

In this study, an efficient handover algorithm based on the received signal strength (RSS)
prediction is presented for two‐tier macro–femtocell networks in which, because of the …

The number of mobile users has exponentially grown over the past years, and these users
have the desire of always being connected wirelessly at any time anywhere, to the best …

The fraction of calls that are blocked due to unavailability of channels, is a significant Quality
of Service measure for mobile communications. In this paper, a scheme that gives in heavy …

Heterogeneous networks (HetNets) refer to the communication network, consisting of
different types of nodes connected through communication networks deploying diverse radio …

Heterogeneous networks enable mobile users to stay connected anytime and from
anywhere, providing a platform for multiple radio technologies to cooperate in order to …
