Improvement on the handover technique for 5G network using fuzzy logic algorithm

Abstract

Beyond 5G (B5G) networks require advanced handover algorithms to guarantee seamless connectivity and optimum quality of service. Traditional handover methods are not sufficient to meet the stringent latency and reliability requirements of next-generation networks. To meet these challenges, the integration of fuzzy logic into handover algorithms offers a viable solution. The proposed approach utilizes parameters such as reference signal received power (RSRP), reference signal received quality (RSRQ), signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR), and user equipment (UE) speed as inputs, while dynamically adjusting the time-to-trigger (TTT) and handover margin (HOM) as outputs. To assess the effectiveness of this algorithm, handover latency (HOL) and handover interruption time (HIT) are evaluated and compared with existing algorithms in the literature. The results show better and more efficient performance in both terms of latency and interruption time.
