dc.description.abstractIn 5G networks and beyond, managing handovers (HOs) becomes complex because of frequent user transitions through small coverage areas. The abundance of small cells (SCs) also complicates HO decisions, potentially leading to inefficient resource utilization. To optimize this process, we propose an intelligent algorithm based on a method that utilizes a fuzzy logic controller (FLC), leveraging prior expertise to dynamically adjust the time-to-trigger (TTT), and handover margin (HOM) in a 5G ultra-dense SC heterogeneous network (HetNet). FLC refines TTT based on the user's velocity to improve the response to movement. Simultaneously, it adapts HOM by considering inputs such as the reference signal received power (RSRP), user equipment (UE) speed, and cell load. The proposed approach enhances HO decisions, thereby improving the overall system performance. Evaluation using metrics such as handover rate (HOR), handover failure (HOF), radio link failure (RLF), and handover ping-pong (HOPP) demonstrate the superiority of the proposed algorithm over existing approaches.en_US
