Abstract
The identifier/locator split (ILS) architectures are highly promising to reduce the signaling latency of frequent handovers in fifth generation (5G) networks, while decentralized vehicular mobility management holds greater potential than the traditional centralized management to enhance the critical performance of highly dynamic and dense cell networks. By carefully exploiting ILS, dual connectivity, and multiaccess edge computing (MEC) concepts, this paper proposes a decentralized vehicular mobility management mechanism in the network with dense 5G Non-Standalone deployment. Under such a mechanism, we design an ILS-based local anchor handover management architecture to reduce signaling costs and handover latency. Specifically, we propose a quality of service- (QoS-) based handover decision algorithm using a long short-term memory- (LSTM-) based trajectory prediction method to obtain the cell sojourn time of connected vehicles (CVs) in predefined QoS coverage areas. Combining a built-in dynamic handover trigger condition, this algorithm can ensure a flexible load balance as well as low handover times. Extensive simulation results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed mechanism in improving network performance.
