The demand for higher data rate and lower cost is making the use of Long Term Evolution (LTE network) more popular in recent years. In this paper, we deal with an adaptive cost-based handover decision algorithm for user equipment battery-life aware load balancing in LTE. The algorithm has a simple c...
