Application of ELECTRE to Network Selection in A Hetereogeneous Wireless Network Environment

Soft Handoff Evaluation and Efficient Access Network Selection in Next Generation Cellular Systems

“…In [25] a modified ''ELECTRE'' algorithm that provides complete ranking of the networks in application scenarios where the utility of some attributes is non-monotonic was presented. In [26], they compared the performance of "PROMETHEE" with "AHP" in terms of consistency, ranking abnormality, robustness, and accuracy.…”

VHITS: Vertical Handoff Initiation and Target Selection in a Heterogeneous Wireless Network

“…Some of these MADM techniques [21,[60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73] are discussed as follows:…”

“…• Elimination and Choice Translating Priority (ELECTRE): This is another scheme [60,61,69,74] used to rank the alternatives. The authors in [60] utilize a reference vector of attributes as an ideal alternative to adjust the raw attributes of the candidate networks.…”

“…The authors in [60] utilize a reference vector of attributes as an ideal alternative to adjust the raw attributes of the candidate networks. A matrix containing the difference between the attribute values of this reference vector and other alternatives is formed, and normalized.…”

Vertical Handoff Target Selection in a Heterogeneous Wireless Network Using Fuzzy ELECTRE

“…• Elimination and Choice Translating Priority (ELECTRE): This is another scheme [31], [34], [37], [38] • Analytic Hierarchy Process and Grey Relational Analysis (GRA): The AHP decomposes the network selection problem into several smaller problems and assigns a weight value to each of them [34], [39]- [41]. GRA is then used to rank the candidate networks, and the network with the highest ranking value is chosen.…”
