Abstract

The main challenges of 5G cellular network are capacity increase of the existing cellular system, providing seamless and ubiquitous communication with very less delay. In future, femtocells and mobile femtocells will be deployed with macrocell base stations. The handoff algorithms which are available cannot be implemented efficiently in femtocell/mobile femtocell/macrocell network scenario. The essence of this paper is to propose a new handoff algorithm for 5G cellular network and evaluate its performance in 5G network scenarios. The performance of the proposed handoff algorithm is compared with a conventional handoff algorithm in terms of number of handoff, number of disconnection and efficiency for 10,000, 20,000, 30,000 randomly generated instances of 5G network scenarios.
