The number of mobile device users has been growing rapidly, particularly on the use of smartphones for business, education, navigation and everyday communications. This has enable the development of the Fifth Generation (5G) mobile architecture to be brought forward as an advancement of mobile communication systems in order to satisfy the demands of the users. Thus, 5G network is predicted to be able to sustain an enormous amount of mobile data rate and a vast number of wireless connection. In addition, 5G is able to reduce cost and power consumption, as well as, produce better quality of service (QoS) with regard of communication delay, reliability, and security. This project is focused on supporting ubiquitous communications with high user mobility rate (pedestrian speed) at a lower energy consumption via the 5G Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets). An analytical model is created based on researched approaches such as usercentric and user behaviour characteristics in 5G HetNets, were also shown in this project. This model provides solutions to power consumption and mobility management issues whenever the user is at a mobile environment such as walking or running. The related variables were measured and the simulation results were evaluated accordingly as a defined conclusion to the project.
