Abstract

The 5-th Generation (5G) heterogeneous networks will offer dense network services and a wide range of networks to satisfy customers ’ demands in order to enable User Equipment (UE) to connect with the preferable Radio Access Technology (RAT). Selection of an appropriate RAT requires consideration of many variables, which makes the task HP-hard. In particular, Quality of Experience (QoE) is one of the crucial parameters when selecting a RAT for 5G wireless networks. In this paper, we proposed a Fuzzy-based RATs Selection System considering QoE (FRSSQ) for 5G wireless networks. We considered four parameters: Coverage (CV), User Priority (UP), Spectral Efficiency (SE) and Quality of Experience (QoE), which is a new input parameter for calculating RAT Decision Value (RDV). From the simulation results, we found that when CV, UP, SE and QoE are increasing, the RDV parameter is increased.
