Abstract—Femtocells have been regarded as low-power and low cost devices for enhancing the capacity and performance of mobile cellular networks. Apart from forming a two-tier network with the macrocell to offload traffic from the macrocell, femtocells can be deployed in an urban area to achieve more data rate with better Quality of Service (QoS). However, this is at the expense of increased frequency of the handover of the UEs from one femtocell to another femtocell. Selecting a particular femtocell for handover is a serious challenge in a femtocell/macrocell deployment environment. Similarly, managing the resulting handovers can be extremely difficult. Thus, this study presents an algorithm to improve handover in LTE-A femtocell network. The complexity of the algorithm was determined and the performance by comparing it with existing algorithm in terms of number of handovers and the ratio of target femtocells. The results have shown that the proposed algorithm outperformed the existing algorithm.
