Abstract

The Next Generation Advanced Heterogeneous Networks are the trending networks for future 5G networks. In earlier cellular networks such as Long-Term Evolution (LTE), there was dense deployment of cells and users moving at high velocities, handovers occurred frequently. While dense deployment of small cells in advanced Hetnets would result in unnecessary handovers which happens due to short sojourn time in target small cell, therefore resulting in degraded experience for the user. For improving the net efficiency of the cellular networks, small cells i.e. Femtocells are being currently deployed in Advanced network and are found to be a better solution for bandwidth limitation and coverage problems. Though, the use of femtocell also comes with a lot of limitations when they are deployed in a dense and highly mobile using environment. User equipment in such environment faces various problems such as frequent and unnecessary handovers, interference between femtocells, interference between femtocell and macrocell, power outage and security issues. There is a need of a more efficient method to remove the existing problems and provide a more efficient method to reduce unnecessary handovers, solve interference management issues along with focussing on power management of the cells. In order to know about latest trends to curb the problems and outrage of new problems arising from the same, will be reviewed further in this paper.
