Mobility Management in 5G Heterogeneous Networks: A Handover Scheme for Reducing Handover Failures by Monaheng, Reitumetse

“…This dissertation focuses on reducing handover failures due to the unavailability of resources at the target cell when a user equipment moves out of small cells, which have the highest rate of handover failure. By utilising a semi-Markov mobility prediction algorithm for handover management, we have implemented a handover scheme that reduces the number of handover calls dropping. …”

Interference Management of Inband Underlay Device-toDevice Communication in 5G Cellular Networks by Boamah, Sharon Ampomaa

“…The channel allocation problem is solved as an assignment problem by using a proposed heuristic channel allocation, random channel allocation, Kuhn-Munkres (KM) and Gale-Shapley (GS) algorithms. A comparative performance evaluation for the algorithms are carried out in the two system model scenarios, and the results indicated that D2D communication with relay assistance outperformed the conventional D2D communication without relay assistance. …”

Biomechanical assessment of RTSA functional outcomes towards optimising the prosthesis configuration by Glenday, Jonathan Daniel

“…A biomechanical assessment framework was established to characterise reverse shoulder function and the effect of modifying prosthesis configuration. It utilised the Newcastle Shoulder Model (NSM) and a custom-made impingement detection algorithm to simulate seven standardised motions that either elevated or rotated the humerus. …”
