The book presents advanced techniques for enhancing mobility management across evolving wireless systems, including 5G and beyond. It introduces innovative handover decision algorithms that leverage user movement patterns, historical data, and multi-criteria optimisation to improve the reliability and efficiency of both horizontal and vertical handovers. Focusing on dense femtocell-macrocell environments, the book proposes refined handover parameters and distance-based vertical handover methods for small-cell transitions. It addresses mobility challenges faced by high-mobility users, such as in vehicular and intelligent transportation systems, by introducing trajectory-based handover prediction models. The practical applications of these techniques are explored within the contexts of smart cities, IoT ecosystems, and future network infrastructures.
This book is a practical guide and essential reference for researchers, engineers, and students in wireless communications, networking, and mobility management.
