Abstract: In recent years, the exponential growth in global mobile traffic, driven by advanced applications, services, and devices, has led to the deployment of numerous small cell base stations to meet future network needs. Ensuring stable connectivity is crucial for seamless mobile user experiences. This paper introduces an adaptive fuzzy logic-based handover parameter adjustment approach aimed at enhancing UE mobility robustness by reducing handover failure (HOF) and ping-pong handover (PPHO) occurrences, all while maintaining high throughput. Simulation results demonstrate the method's effectiveness in adjusting handover parameters based on system performance indicators across different speed ranges. Compared to traditional fuzzy logic, clustering-based fuzzy logic, and A3 event-based optimisation methods, our proposed approach consistently outperforms in terms of reducing HOPP and HOF while sustaining high throughput levels.
