An Overview of Vertical Handoff Decision Algorithms in NGWNs and a new Scheme for Providing Optimized Performance in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks
Because the increasingly development and use of wireless networks and mobile technologies, was implemented the idea that users of mobile terminals must have access in different wireless networks simultaneously. Therefore one of the main interest points of Next Generation Wireless Networks (NGWNs), refers to the ability to support wireless network access equipment to ensure a high rate of services between different wireless networks. To solve these problems it was necessary to have decision algorithms to decide for each user of mobile terminal, which is the best network at some point, for a service or a specific application that the user needs. Therefore to make these things, different algorithms use the vertical handoff technique. Below are presented a series of algorithms based on vertical handoff technique with a classification of the different existing vertical handoff decision strategies, which tries to solve these issues of wireless network selection at a given time for a specific application of an user. Based on our synthesis on vertical handoff decision strategies given below, we build our strategy based on solutions presented below, taking the most interesting aspect of each one.Vertical Handoff, Genetic Algorithms, Fuzzy Logic, Neural Networks, AHP
MIRAI Architecture for Heterogeneous Network
One of the keywords that describe next-generation wireless communications is "seamless." As part of the e-Japan Plan promoted by the Japanese Government, the Multimedia Integrated Network by Radio Access Innovation project has as its goal the development of new technologies to enable seamless integration of various wireless access systems for practical use by 2005. This article describes a heterogeneous network architecture including a common tool, a common platform, and a common access. In particular, software-defined radio technologies are used to develop a multiservice user terminal to access different wireless networks. The common platform for various wireless networks is based on a wireless-supporting IPv6 network. A basic access network, separated from other wireless access networks, is used as a means for wireless system discovery, signaling, and paging. A proof-of-concept experimental demonstration system is available
A Survey on Handover Management in Mobility Architectures
This work presents a comprehensive and structured taxonomy of available
techniques for managing the handover process in mobility architectures.
Representative works from the existing literature have been divided into
appropriate categories, based on their ability to support horizontal handovers,
vertical handovers and multihoming. We describe approaches designed to work on
the current Internet (i.e. IPv4-based networks), as well as those that have
been devised for the "future" Internet (e.g. IPv6-based networks and
extensions). Quantitative measures and qualitative indicators are also
presented and used to evaluate and compare the examined approaches. This
critical review provides some valuable guidelines and suggestions for designing
and developing mobility architectures, including some practical expedients
(e.g. those required in the current Internet environment), aimed to cope with
the presence of NAT/firewalls and to provide support to legacy systems and
several communication protocols working at the application layer
SCALABLE AND EFFICIENT VERTICAL HANDOVER DECISION ALGORITHMS IN VEHICULAR NETWORK CONTEXTS
A finales de los años noventa, y al comienzo del nuevo milenio, las redes inalĂĄmbricas han evolucionado bastante, pasando de ser sĂłlo una tecnologĂa prometedora para convertirse en un requisito para las actividades cotidianas en las sociedades desarrolladas. La infraestructura de transporte tambiĂ©n ha evolucionado, ofreciendo comunicaciĂłn a bordo para mejorar la seguridad vial y el acceso a contenidos de informaciĂłn y entretenimiento.
Los requisitos de los usuarios finales se han hecho dependientes de la tecnologĂa, lo que significa que sus necesidades de conectividad han aumentado debido a los diversos requisitos de las aplicaciones que se ejecutan en sus dispositivos mĂłviles, tales como tabletas, telĂ©fonos inteligentes, ordenadores portĂĄtiles o incluso ordenadores de abordo (On-Board Units (OBUs)) dentro de los vehĂculos. Para cumplir con dichos requisitos de conectividad, y teniendo en cuenta las diferentes redes inalĂĄmbricas disponibles, es necesario adoptar tĂ©cnicas de Vertical Handover (VHO) para cambiar de red de forma transparente y sin necesidad de intervenciĂłn del usuario.
El objetivo de esta tesis es desarrollar algoritmos de decisión (Vertical Handover Decision Algorithms (VHDAs)) eficientes y escalables, optimizados para el contexto de las redes vehiculares. En ese sentido se ha propuesto, desarrollado y probado diferentes algoritmos de decisión basados en la infraestructura disponible en las actuales, y probablemente en las futuras, redes inalåmbricas y redes vehiculares. Para ello se han combinado diferentes técnicas, métodos computacionales y modelos matemåticos, con el fin de garantizar una conectividad apropiada, y realizando el handover hacia las redes mås adecuadas de manera a cumplir tanto con los requisitos de los usuarios como los requisitos de las aplicaciones.
Con el fin de evaluar el contexto, se han utilizado diferentes herramientas para obtener informaciĂłn variada, como la disponibilidad de la red, el estado de la red, la geolocalizaciĂłnMĂĄrquez Barja, JM.
