“…To overcome the potential problem in tracking and monitoring MTs seamlessly for wireless IoT services, the main objective of this paper is to build an efficient vertical handover algorithm for mobile IoT applications and integrate real hardware components and software techniques for a testbed. The contributions of the paper are: First, this paper extends our previous study [4] to cover the Radio network in addition to Wi-Fi and Satellite networks for decision making. Further, most of the previous research efforts concentrate either on the network level parameters or limited to two types of networks, i.e., cellular and Wi-Fi or Bluetooth technologies, and are often limited to a single or only a few decision criteria.…”

“…In [4] [5], the authors proposed the architecture of a mobile IoT Edge Gateway that is capable of performing vertical handovers between Wi-Fi and Satellite networks based on Received Signal Strength (RSS) using Edge computing. Edge computing brings the datacenters (or mini-data centers) closer to the users or MTs to shorten the delay compared to Cloud computing.…”

Internet of Things (IoT) is ubiquitous, including objects or devices communicating through heterogenous wireless networks. One of the major challenges in mobile IoT is an efficient vertical handover decision (VHD) technique between heterogenous networks for seamless connectivity with constrained resources. The conventional VHD approach is mainly based on received signal strength (RSS). The approach is inefficient for vertical handover, since it always selects the target network with the strongest signal without taking into consideration of factors such as quality of service (QoS), cost, delay, etc. In this paper, we present a hybrid approach by integrating the multi-criteria based VHD (MCVHD) technique and an algorithm based on fuzzy logic for efficient VHD among Wi-Fi, Radio and Satellite networks. The MCVHD provides a lightweight solution that aims to achieving seamless connectivity for mobile IoT Edge Gateway over a set of heterogeneous networks. The proposed solution is evaluated in real time using a testbed containing real IoT devices. Further, the testbed is integrated with lightweight and efficient software techniques, e.g., microservices, containers, broker, and Edge/Cloud techniques. The experimental results show that the proposed approach is suitable for an IoT environment and it outperforms the conventional RSS Quality based VHD by minimizing handover failures, unnecessary handovers, handover time and cost of service.

“…Recently, some work has focused on UAV-enabled communication based on a single RAN, such as WiMAX, LTE, WLAN, respectively [14]- [17]. However, there is little work on data transmission enabled by UAVs over multi-RAN simultaneously.…”

“…In order to eliminate packet differences caused by heterogeneity, an efficient multipath transmission protocol was designed in [22]. [17] and [20] focus on multi-RAN access and seamless handover, and propose efficient schemes for collecting and transmitting data. However, the authors do not take the highvolume and multi-type data transmission challenges into account, which calls for the advanced queuing theory to schedule diverse data to different RANs while guaranteeing the QoS requirements and maintaining a high efficiency.…”

In this paper, we investigate the air-to-ground multi-traffic backhaul enabled by unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with multiple radio access networks (RANs). Faced with the challenging traffic designation problem over diverse RANs, an efficient packet delivery scheme based on multi-priority batch arrival queuing theory is proposed to match various traffics with multiple RANs. Specifically, our contributions are threefold: 1) The average queuing time of UAV-enabled multi-RAN access is theoretically derived according to multi-priority batch arrival queuing theory. 2) The priority factor and z-type utility function are well tailored by leveraging the derived queuing time. 3) A multiple traffic backhaul strategy is further proposed by exploiting the priority factor and z-type utility function to optimize the packet delivery, i.e., maximizing the delay utility via joint network selection and power allocation for diverse RANs. The simulation results show that the average delay of delay-sensitive packets is reduced by 15%, and the overall packet delivery quality is improved considerably.

“…For IoT network disruptive services, the MTs need to effectively handle vertical handover as the MT move from one access area or cell to another. This requires an efficient VHD mechanism for delivering IoT services [3]. A vertical handover takes place among the access points supporting different network technologies.…”

Internet of Things (IoT) is ubiquitous, which includes objects communicating through heterogenous networks. One of the challenges in mobile IoT is vertical handover decision (VHD) between heterogenous networks for seamless connectivity. Conventional VHD approach is based on received signal strength (RSS), which is limited to only RSS Quality and hence inefficient to decide best network for vertical handover. This thesis proposes multi-criteria based VHD (MCVHD) algorithm for efficient VHD between Wi-Fi, Radio and Satellite network. The experiment results show that MCVHD outperforms the conventional RSS Quality based VHD by minimizing handover failures, unnecessary handovers, handover time and cost of service by selecting best available network using multi-criteria parameters. The proposed IoT solution also employs Docker container based microservices architecture. The results show that the Docker container produces negligible resource overhead and can be used on resource constrained IoT devices like Raspberry Pi 3, for efficiently managing IoT application and services.iii
