An Enhanced Evaluation Model For Vertical Handover Algorithm In Heterogeneous Networks

The vertical handover decision is considered an NP-Hard problem. For that reason, a large variety of vertical handoff algorithms (VHA) have been proposed to help the user to select dynamically the best access network in terms of quality of service (QoS). The objective of this paper is to provide a new approach for evaluating of the vertical handoff algorithms in order to choose the most appropriate algorithm which should be used to select the best access network. Simulation results are presented to evaluate and to test our new evaluation model

Network Selection Decision Based on Handover History in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks

In recent years, the mobile devices are equipped with several wireless interfaces in heterogeneous environments which integrate a multitude of radio access technologies (RAT's). The evolution of these technologies will allow the users to benefit simultaneously from these RAT's. However, the most important issue is how to choose the most suitable access network for mobile's user which can be used as long as possible for communication. To achieve this issue, this paper proposes a new approach for network selection decision based on Saaty's Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). The FAHP method is used to determine a weight for each criterion, and the TOPSIS method is applied to rank the alternatives. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of our new approach for network selection.

An Intelligent Network Selection Strategy Based on MADM Methods in Heterogeneous Networks

Providing service continuity to the end users with best quality is a very important issue in the next generation wireless communications. With the evolution of the mobile devices towards a multimode architecture and the coexistence of multitude of radio access technologies (RAT's), the users are able to benefit simultaneously from these RAT's. However, the major issue in heterogeneous wireless communications is how to choose the most suitable access network for mobile's user which can be used as long as possible for communication. To achieve this issue, this paper proposes an intelligent network selection strategy which combines two multi attribute decision making (MADM) methods such as analytic network process (ANP) and the technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) method. The ANP method is used to find the differentiate weights of available networks by considering each criterion and the TOPSIS method is applied to rank the alternatives. Our new strategy for network selection can dealing with the limitations of MADM methods which are the ranking abnormality and the ping-ponf effect.
