Abstract :

Handover is a critical feature of wireless networks that allows mobile devices to seamlessly switch between access points as they move around. In 5G heterogeneous wireless networks (HetNets), handover is even more challenging due to the high density of base stations and the variety of radio access technologies (RATs) that may be used. There are a number of challenges that must be addressed in order to design efficient and reliable handover mechanisms for 5G HetNets. These challenges include: Heterogeneity of the network, Multi-RAT support, Mobility of users. Despite these challenges, there are a number of promising research directions for handover in 5G HetNets. These research directions include: Machine learning, Heterogeneous signaling, Network slicing. The research on handover in 5G HetNets is still in its early stages. However, there is a lot of promising research being done in this area. As 5G networks become more widespread, the need for efficient and reliable handover mechanisms will become even more important.
