“…This shows the inappropriateness of such solutions in the heterogeneous radio access environments. Some authors like [9] and [10] observed that TOPSIS, SAW and VIKOR based handover decision making mechanisms are very effective for voice communication in 4G connections as they provide low values of jitter and packet loss, whereas, [11] stated that MEW and ELECTRE based schemes usually provide higher throughput values for voice data. It becomes difficult after summarizing all to make any meaningful choice between these schemes for an optimal solution to vertical handover.…”

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 [8] the authors establish the phases of network discovery, handoff decision and handoff execution. From these it's determined that there is a data acquisition phase where the information the algorithm uses is obtained and that afterwards the choice elected by it commences the handover execution without affecting any other part of the process.…”

Abstract:Progress in the telecommunications sector has opened new scenarios where users want to access any application or service from any device anywhere at any time, connected to any network. In this environment, the Heterogenerous Wireless Networks (HWN) is the main operating infrastructure, intended to support the technical and quality needs that these users and services demand, along with the versatility and availability that comes with being able to connect to any interface. One of the most important characteristics of HWN is the possibility to connect many kinds of Radio Access Networks (RAN) like WiFi, WiMAX,GSM, UMTS, HSPA, LTE, among others. This brings many challenges in HWN surroundings, one of the most important is ensuring that a user terminal can move from one access network to another without losing connectivity and, of course, the service. The aim of this paper is to propose a Vertical Handover Decision Algorithm (VHO-DA) that enables a single user terminal to initiate a proactive decision based on user preferences and QoS parameters, while at the same time considering the networks conditions to avoid over burdening an interface. The development of our VHO-DA was addressed like a Multi Criteria Decision Making Problem (MCDM) in order to provide the best possible connection for critical services and maintaining load balancing in networks.

“…In addition the sensitivity analysis for four traffic classes are presented as follows: the background traffic is sensitive to the ABW, the interactive traffic is sensitive to BER, the conversational traffic and the streaming traffic are sensitive to the NW. In [14], the author compare the performance of seven VHA based on MADM methods which are SAW, MEW, TOPSIS, ELEC-TRE, VIKOR, GRA and WMC (weighted markov chain). The performance evaluation is focused on four parameters of QoS namely packet delay, packet jitter, the available bandwidth and the total bandwidth.…”

The expected growth in radio access technologies (RAT's) such as wireless technologies (802.11a, 802.11b, 802.15, 802.16, etc.) and cellular networks (GPRS, UMTS, HSDPA, LTE, etc.) requires efficient vertical handoff algorithm. Variety of vertical handoff algorithms (VHA) have been proposed to help the user to select dynamically the best access network (BAN) in terms of quality of service. The objective of this paper is to provide an optimized network selection decision that allow mobile users to choose the BAN with seamless manner and to exploit a minimum of criteria for all traffic classes namely: background conversational, interactive and streaming. Our optimized algorithm combines two multi attribute decision making (MADM) methods such as analytic network process (ANP) method to weigh the criteria, and the novel method based on mahalanobis distance (NMMD) to rank the alternatives.
