As the increasing demand for mo-bile communications and the shrinking of the coverage of cells, handover mechanism will play an important role in future wireless net-works to provide users with seamless mobile communication services. In order to guarantee the user experience, the handover decision should be made timely and reasonably. To achieve this goal, this paper presents a hy-brid handover forecasting mechanism, which contains long-term and short-term forecasting models. The proposed mechanism could co-operate with the standard mechanisms, and improve the performance of standard han-dover decision mechanisms. Since most of the parameters involved are imprecise, fuzzy forecasting model is applied for dealing with predictions of them. The numerical results in-dicate that the mechanism could significantly decrease the rate of ping-pong handover and the rate of handover failure.
