Network controlled and UE assisted hard Handover (HO) procedure is adopted in 3GPP LTE-
Advanced systems. Hysteresis Margin (HM) and A3offset are the major parameters based …

Mobility management is essential in mobile communication networks to provide a smooth
connection during users' mobility. Handover control parameters (HCPs), such as handover …

This study addresses the handover management issue for Device-to-Device communication
in fifth-generation (5G) networks. The Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) drafted a …

In long term evolution-advanced (LTE-A) networks, user assisted and network controlled
hard handover (HO) procedure is adopted. In the initial phase of the HO procedure, the …

Heterogeneous deployment of macro cells and small cells is considered as a major network
topology in future-generation cellular networks. Such layouts could efficiently and effectively …

Minimizing the number of handovers incurred by a mobile User Equipment (UE) in a LTE
network is an important and well-studied problem. In a dense LTE network, a mobile UE may …

One of the cutting edge requirements envisioned for next-generation mobile networks is to
support ultra-reliable and low latency communication (URLLC), as well as to meet massive …

In the past few years, the demand for data traffic has increased explosively, in order to meet
such a demand in traffic volume, small cell networks have been introduced. With the wide …

Wireless networks are a very complex and dynamic environment that requires proper
management to optimise its performance. With a tremendous increase in the number of user …

The heterogeneous network (HetNet) deployment in Long‐Term Evolution Advanced
networks poses serious handover (HO) performance issues when compared to the …
