A Fuzzy Predictive Handover Mechanism based on MIH Links Triggering in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks

Abstract

Abstract. The wireless networks of the near future will capable of successfully handling various kinds of communication systems. The cross platform communication is a very serious issue that has to be immediately addressed. The main factor for successful implementation of 4G wireless networks is the Media Independent Handover (MIH). It can provide the information about the parameter that impacts the handover prediction. The aim of this work is to provide link trigger intelligence and a general interface for the handover between heterogeneous wireless networks. It is noteworthy that the information of link trigger is very vital for the link trigger to carry out precise decision and execution. This paper proposes a fuzzy based prediction algorithm with dynamic of links triggering for vertical handover by applying the Information Server (IS) of IEEE 802.21. The propose solution can minimize unnecessary handover
