Abstract

The rapid evolution of wireless communication technologies has led to the emergence of sixth-generation (6G) networks, which aim to support ultra-low latency, massive connectivity, and intelligent network automation. One of the critical challenges in 6G is efficient mobility management due to highly dynamic user behavior, ultra-dense networks, and heterogeneous access technologies. Traditional mobility management schemes rely on reactive handover mechanisms that often result in increased latency, packet loss, and signaling overhead. To address these limitations, predictive mobility management has gained significant attention. This paper proposes the use of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, a type of deep learning model well-suited for sequential data, to predict user mobility patterns in 6G networks. By leveraging historical mobility data, the LSTM-based approach enables proactive handover decisions, improved resource allocation, and enhanced Quality of Service (QoS). The paper discusses the architecture, working principle, advantages, and applicability of LSTM-based predictive mobility management in 6G environments, highlighting its potential to enable intelligent and autonomous network operations
