The unprecedented growth in the number of mobile nodes, connected devices, and data
traffic lead to the dense deployment of fifth generation (5G) networks. In such networks …

Future cellular networks need to support data hungry applications with enhanced data rates
possibly via cell densification (ultra-small cells). The key objective of this work is to study the …

Abstract The Fifth Generation (5G) cellular network requires new solutions to new network
requirements, for example, support for high-speed mobility. This paper presents a handover …

Cache-enabled small base station (SBS) densification is foreseen as a key component of 5G
cellular networks. This architecture enables storing popular files at the network edge (ie …

Current 5G networks suffer from high signaling overhead due to highly mobile vehicles. In
this paper, we first introduce a personalized handover function (denoted μ HF) that …

The number of satellites in the current low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellite networks continues to
grow to form a mega LEO satellite constellation (MLSC). This large-scale net-working …

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 …

In wireless mobile networks, Mobility Management (MM) is a critical aspect that involves
different tasks such as handover management, location management, offloading, resource …

Aviation swarm is considered to be a promising organization of air combat forces to execute
combat and noncombat air missions. As a critical component of an aviation swarm, airborne …

Abstract 5G networks are expected to deliver very high data rates with enhanced quality of
service (QoS) at a very low cost. To meet the demands of high data rates and improved QoS …
