• Abstract: 5G heterogeneous networks (HetNets) can provide higher network coverage and system capacity to the user by deploying massive small base stations (BSs) within the 4G macro system. However, the large-scale deployment of small BSs significantly increases the complexity and workload of network maintenance and optimisation. The current handover (HO) triggering mechanism A3 event was designed only for mobility management in the macro system. Directly implementing A3 in 5G-HetNets may degrade the user mobility robustness. Motivated by the concept of self-organisation networks (SON), this study developed a self-optimised triggering mechanism to enable automated network maintenance and enhance user mobility robustness in 5G-HetNets. The proposed method integrates the advantages of subtractive clustering and Q-learning frameworks into the conventional fuzzy logic-based HO algorithm (FLHA). Subtractive clustering is first adopted to generate a membership function (MF) for the FLHA to enable FLHA with the self-configuration feature. Subsequently, Q-learning is utilised to learn the optimal HO policy from the environment as fuzzy rules that empower the FLHA with a self-optimisation function. The FLHA with SON functionality also overcomes the limitations of the conventional FLHA that must rely heavily on professional experience to design. The simulation results show that the proposed self-optimised FLHA can effectively generate MF and fuzzy rules for the FLHA. By comparing with conventional triggering mechanisms, the proposed approach can decrease the HO, ping-pong HO, and HO failure ratios by approximately 91%, 49%, and 97.5% while improving network throughput and latency by 8% and 35%, respectively.
