Abstract

In this paper we describe a context-aware reconfigurable system, which implements the IEEE 802.21 Media Independent Handover (MIH) standard for interoperability between wireless hybrid access networks. The proposed approach uses vertical handover prediction algorithms to improve the resource management decisions, through access to our Web Service implementation of the Media Independent Information Service (MIIS), which stores previously acquired information about surrounding hybrid access networks. Various prediction alternatives are discussed, and two proposed algorithms are evaluated, on our prototype implementation of the system.
