Ant Colony Optimization for the Call Drops Reduction in Wireless Heterogeneous Networks

In this modern era, the wireless communication has become an important part of everyone's life. Everyone needs to be connected to the other people. Future cellular networks will require to serve data-hungry applications with higher data rates, which could be achieved via increasing cell density (small cells). It is extremely vital to have reliable HO methods in owing to increased data rates, as this has a direct effect on the end user's overall experience (QoE). While executing handoff, there is a possibility of the call drop. In this paper, we are proposing an optimized algorithm which reduces the call drop ratio. Here, we have used ant colony's optimization technique for designing of the algorithm.
