Cover Story: Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communications, operating in the 5.9 GHz band using DSRC and C-V2X technologies, initially aim to boost road safety and reduce accidents, with 1.19 million road deaths reported annually. However, V2X innovations, such as remote driving and intelligent platooning, need effective mobility management to efficiently address dynamic user demands and varying Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. High-speed vehicles necessitate receptive handover (HO) mechanisms to keep stable cell connection, handle network congestion and bottleneck in ultra-dense 5G networks, and enhance user experience. This paper presents a hybrid, machine learning-based HO mechanism for 5G V2X networks that integrates TOPSIS with Q-Learning to intelligently address dynamic vehicular user needs, ease network degradation, and optimize performance.
