Abstract

In this work, a cylindrical-shaped dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) with four elements is designed and presented at 28 GHz for millimeter-wave applications. The microstrip line is designed to excite the dielectric resonator (DR) with a relative permittivity of 8.3, and then the proposed single cylindrical DR antenna has been mounted on a FR4-Epoxy substrate with a relative permittivity of 4.4 and a thickness of 1.8 mm. However, the optimized single element was used to create a particular array for improving the gain and achieving the required antenna performance. The resulting antenna enabled a response range for the reflection coefficient from 26.8 GHz to 30.6 GHz, which covers the operational frequency. This allows for a maximum gain of 19.07 dB, an impedance bandwidth of 3.8 GHz, and a total efficiency of 80.62%, meeting the requirements for millimeter-wave and fifth-generation applications.

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.
