Abstract

The vertical handover is the process of changing the wireless access technology (e.g. from Wi-Fi to 4G/3G). It is an important issue in the next generation of wireless networking. In fact, optimizing this process, especially the discovery and the decision-making steps, allows mobile users to connect to the best available wireless access network anytime, without session ruptures, often caused by wrong vertical handover decisions. This paper addresses the network selection strategy, by using the mobile device’s velocity as a constraint during the discovery step and then applying the multi-attribute decision-making methods, to choose in “real-time” the best available wireless network every time. The simulation is inspired by real-life cases, and the results show that our strategy helps to avoid unnecessary handovers.
