Brief Survey: Machine Learning in Handover Cellular Network †

The proposed work offers a concise review of the application of machine learning (ML) to cellular network handovers (HO) via the Systematic Mapping Study (SMS) methodology, emphasizing the problem areas and requirements. The key points include the paramount role of high-quality data, with meticulous data acquisition and preprocessing as vital steps in ML dataset construction. The article identifies prevalent parameters for HO enhancement and underscores the diversity of ML algorithms, aligning them with specific data input and tasks. This study establishes a robust basis for forthcoming research in applying machine learning to cellular network HOs.
