Abstract :
Available techniques in handover management in cellular communication networks can’t keep unnecessary events and delay decision at a low level state. The main purpose of this paper is to provide the intelligence method which is able to minimize the number of unnecessary events and allowing the necessary requests to occur and so improves the overall network performance. In order to achieve such a goal, in the proposed method, we have used the geographical knowledge from building maps with spectral clustering in the area covered by femtocell. Therefore, we require to develop the spectral clustering based on geographical information. The experimental results on real dataset and performed simulations indicate that the superiority of the proposed method in allocating the user to appropriate cell and acceptable ability to manage the handover in heterogeneous layer of femtocell-macrocell.
