Abstract

Network selection in a heterogeneous wireless environment is a major challenge to ensue seamless mobility across different radio air interfaces. To provide the desired quality of service for a given application in a multimedia environment, different parameters, including delay, bandwidth, packet loss and cost per byte, play an important role in network selection. In this paper, we present a novel algorithm for optimal network selection. A heterogeneous environment consisting of four networks, UMTS, WLAN, GPRS and WiMAX has been considered. We propose a network selection algorithm in which weight estimation for the representative set of the network attributes is computed using entropy and technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution approach. The numerical results show that the proposed model can be effectively implemented to select the desired network in a heterogeneous environment employing triple-play services.
