Fifth-generation (5G) cellular networks are a promising technology to meet the rapid growth in wireless traffic. Small cells are critical in fulfilling the requirements of 5G networks. A heterogeneous ultra-dense network (HUDN) is an enabling technology consisting of several types of small cells to enhance the performance of 5G networks effectively. A critical issue of HUDN is the cell selection method because the traditional technique for cell selection is inapplicable in such a network. This study proposes a novel adaptive cell selection (ADA-CS) scheme. It adapts to various characteristics of HUDNs and vehicle movements. It performs six phases to select the best base station with which to be associated. Simulation results show that, with low-and medium-speed vehicles, the ADA-CS scheme outperforms the traditional protocol in terms of the average number of handovers by 42.39%. In addition, it is superior to some relevant recent schemes by up to 36.53%. The adaptation feature of the proposed protocol provides additional improvements regarding the average number of handovers with high-speed vehicles. Therefore, it achieves superiority in terms of the average number of handover failures and unnecessary handovers. In addition, the ADA-CS scheme enhances the average achievable downlink data rates and spectral efficiency per vehicle by 3.98% and 2.79% compared with the traditional and the relevant recent schemes.

Additional information is available at the end of the chapter 1. Wireless communications and the necessity of cognitive radio Wireless communication systems play a special role in human life, facilitate the life, and change the world much more in the future. The diversity of applications and services of wireless communications indicates the widespread use of wireless systems and equipment in the future. Since the first radio link by Marconi in 1896, it has been more than 120 years, and several wireless communication systems have been introduced up to now. Meanwhile, the advancement of cellular wireless communications, whose idea came back to 1947 and their first generation in 1978 (namely advanced mobile phone service), has been well adopted and has grown dramatically, so that the researchers and operators are focused on standardization and design of 5G and 6G wireless communication systems [1]. From the beginning, one of the main problems in wireless communications is the scarcity of radio resources (frequency, time, and power). In recent years, the lack of frequency spectrum and the necessity of frequency reuse at different times and places and reduction of the consumed power are of great importance. Looking at the following laws: • Moore's law: The number of transistors that can be cheaply placed on a microchip doubles and the computer power exponentially increases approximately every 2 years [2] • Cooper's law: The number of voice calls or data that can be sent over the usable radio spectrum doubles every 30 months [2]
