Abstract
The 5-th Generation (5G) heterogeneous networks are expected to provide dense network services and a plethora of different networks for fulfilling the user requirements. They are supposed to give User Equipment (UE) the ability to connect with the appropriate Radio Access Technology (RAT). However, many parameters should be considered for the selection of RAT, which makes the problem HP-hard. Especially, Quality of Experience (QoE) is one of the important parameters for the selection of RAT in 5G wireless networks. For this reason, in this paper, we propose a fuzzy-based scheme for evaluating QoE considering three parameters: Network Capacity (NC), Experienced End-User Throughput (EEUT) and Connectivity (Cn). From simulation results, we found that when NC, EEUT and Cn are increased, the QoE parameter value is increased.
