“…Gabriele Tamea et al (2011) [20] had implemented a modified multi-criteria decision making technique and proposed a soft solution to decrease the outage probability during performance loss. The analytical approach uses parameters like bandwidth, queue length and network load for decision making.…”

One of the main focuses on Heterogeneous environment is to provide seamless Handover performance while switching between different network interfaces. The vertical HO scenario introduces issues related to QoS which affects the connections as well as the applications. This paper identifies different parameters which are responsible for a fruitful handoff process. We also study about the path traversed by the HO decision process and their algorithms and find out the parameters which are useful to make accurate HO decision. Keywords-Vertical Handoff (VHO), Heterogeneous networks, received signal strength (RSS), quality of service (QoS), signal interference to noise ratio (SINR), bandwidth, etc.,

In the presence of heterogeneous service provider (SP) networks such as wireless local area networks and cellular networks, users have to make a choice. The quality of service provided and the price charged by an SP play a crucial role in this decision process. In this paper, we study the network selection behavior of mobile users. A novel probabilistic framework is presented, with explicit analytical expressions for the transition and steady state network selection probabilities of the users. The proposed framework utilizes the price charged and the utility obtained at the SPs in obtaining the transition probabilities, even in the presence of multi-homing users. Furthermore, network-level parameters such as call blocking probabilities and throughput are obtained in terms of the steady state probabilities. Numerical results indicate that the prices and utilities at the heterogeneous SPs have considerable impact on the overall network performance.Index Terms-Cellular network, heterogeneous networks, transition probability, wireless local area network (WLAN).

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.
