“…Seamless transfer of user's service from existing operator to a new operator bearing dissimilar radio access technology is called Vertical Handover (VHO). Vertical Handover (VHO) [3] is a mechanism in which user maintains connection when switched from one Radio Access Network (RAN) technology to another RAN technology (e.g., from WLAN/H-2 to UMTS and vice versa (see fig.1). [4] [5].…”

Abstract:The growth over the last decade in the use of wireless networking devices has been explosive. Soon many devices will have multiple network interfaces, each with very different characteristics. We believe that a framework that encapsulates the key challenges of heterogeneous networking is required. Like a map clearly helps one to plan a journey, a framework is needed to help us move forward in this unexplored area. The approach taken here is similar to the OSI model in which tightly defined layers are used to specify functionality, allowing a modular approach to the extension of systems and the interchange of their components, whilst providing a model that is more oriented to heterogeneity and mobility.

“…The next-generation wireless network is also envisioned as a convergence of different wireless networks such as Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi), Worldwide Inter operability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) [1]. While Mobile Nodes (MNs) roam between heterogeneous access networks, vertical handoff may take place.…”

Seamless mobility support in a heterogeneous roaming environment is one of several challenging issues for next-generation wireless network, and handoff decision is an important and intelligent part of seamless handoff process. In this paper, an improved game theorybased vertical handoff decision algorithm is presented. The proposed algorithm formulates the relationship between mobile nodes and heterogeneous access networks as a special consumer goods market model, and formulates the relationship among candidate access networks as cooperative game process. The simulation experimental results show that the proposed network selection algorithm is able to achieve the load balancing well, and make the networks obtain larger payoff.
