Abstract:

The trending factor for next generation wireless networks will be heterogeneity of access networks, various networks are brought together to form an heterogeneous wireless network environment. Mobile users are now equipped with multimode capabilities that has the ability to select more than one type of network. In such type of heterogeneous network the mobile users may be having more than one access point to select for seamless service delivery and service continuity across the network environment. Selecting the optimal network among available networks and seamless mobility is a challenging task. Therefore a selection method is required that can facilitate seamless handoff between heterogeneous wireless access networks and selects the optimal among them. The proposed system architecture explicitly takes into account the user preference and context data for selection of optimal network. The system is based on IEEE 802.21 MIH (media independent handoff) framework. It best meets the need of user and ensures the selection of optimal network to perform handoff in heterogeneous wireless network environment.
