Abstract

Future innovations rely on rapid technological advances to boost downlink strength. 5G ought to constitute one of the foundational technologies for an interconnected future. However, there is no contest that the end user's venturing style is committed to handover (HO) management. The common structure-based measurement of the target cell to clarify the handover processes requires a frequent measurement gap (MG), and these approaches must build a relationship to performance degradation. The deployment of ultra-dense small cells (UDSC) within a macro-cell layer contributes to multi-tier networks that are referred to as heterogeneous networks. (HetNets). The frequency of HOs and radio link failures (RLF) did, however, drastically grow along with the network's UDSC. As a result, in order to enhance the operation of the system, the management of mobility has grown to be a highly crucial task. Both the frequency of HOs and the percentage of HO failures (HOF) are objectives of the suggested approach. A simulation using 4G and 5G networks is carried out to determine how well the suggested technique performs. The simulation findings demonstrate that the suggested approach, when compared to existing algorithms from the literature, considerably lowers the typical levels of HO ping-pong (HOPP) and HOFs.
