Abstract

With the exponential growth of the telecommunication networks high data rate, low latency become highly demandable. In wireless communication, User Equipment (UE) demands always be on the network so that packet losses are minimum during mobility in the network and cater the better Quality of Service (QoS). Handover is the mechanism which transfers the control of UE from one network to another without interruption. If the target network is not preeminent, then it may cause the handover failure and handover ping-pong effect. The selection of the network should be optimal so as to preserve the overall QoS of the network. The proposed scheme selects the optimal network from all the available networks. The results are analyzed numerically and show the best network in terms of less handover failure rate that can help for seamless connectivity.
