Abstract

The heterogeneity is one of the key concepts of the Next Generation Wireless Networks (NGWNs). How to provide mobile users with the best connection anytime and anywhere become more important. In this paper, we propose an efficient vertical handover framework based on Media Independent Handover (MIH) technology, to address network selection in Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets) environments. A performance analysis is done and results are compared with existing algorithms for vertical handover. Results demonstrate a significant improvement with our developed approach.
