Abstract-The importance of network selection for wireless networks, is to facilitate users with various personal wireless devices to access their desired services via a range of available radio access networks. The inability of these networks to provide broadband data service applications to users poses a serious challenge in the wireless environment. Network Optimization has therefore become necessary, so as to accommodate the increasing number of users' service application demands while maintaining the required quality of services. To achieve that, the need to incorporate intelligent and fast mechanism as a solution to select the best value network for the user arises. This paper provides an intelligent network selection strategy based on the user-and network-valued metrics to suit their preferences when communicating in multiaccess environment. A user-driven network selection strategy that employs Multi-Access Service Selection Vertical Handover Decision Algorithm (MASS-VHDA) via three interfaces; WiFi, WiMAX and LTE-A is proposed, numerically evaluated and simulated. The results from the performance analysis demonstrate some improvement in the QoS and network blocking probability to satisfy user application requests for multiple simultaneous services.

“…In 4G network to accommodate the requirements such as high usability and personalization of 4G (mobile) networks, conventional handheld single network-interface mobile devices are evolving into multihued devices. Moreover, owing to the recent advances in the mobile middleware technologies, hardware technologies and association with the human user, handheld mobile devices are evolving into data producers and in turn acting as Nomadic Mobile Service (NMS) providers [4].…”

These days, mobility is one of the most important features in communication networks. It has such an enormous impact that wireless communication has become an inevitable part of our life.The need has fueled rapid innovation in the technology and as a result we acknowledge a significant change in the wireless technologies which are known as 1G, 2G, 3G and 4G. However, no single network and no single technology dominate the wireless communication.Therefore, seamless global network connectivityis a significant challenge facing wireless and mobile network. It demands for rapid innovation and more rapid rollout of global connectivity. In this paper, we present technological advancements in different generations in wireless networking with a special focus on some significant changes in the 3G and 4G wireless technologyfor implementation of data transfer and voice communication.

“…This way, each mobile user could autonomously apply the handover decision policy, which is more convenient to the user's specific needs. A vertical handover decision function proposed in [10] allows the user to strategically prioritize the different network characteristics such as network performance, user preference and monetary cost. This function is simple and can be easily applied to any vertical handover approach.…”

Abstract. Mobility management has become an important issue in 4G networks due to the integration of multiple network access technologies. Traditionally, only the received signal strength has been considered for the vertical handover. However, more considerations will be necessary to satisfy the end user's preferences. In this paper, we propose an Autonomic Handover Manager (AHM) based on the autonomic computing concept to decide the best network interface to handover in 4G networks. AHM decides the appropriate policy for the specific service or application without the user's intervention using the context information from the mobile terminal, the network and the user. We present the context information and the context evaluation function to decide handover based on the user preferences. We then describe the scenario to validate its feasibility using multimedia conferencing service on the mobile terminal.
