Implementation of fuzzy logic for network selection in next generation networks

The concept behind the next generation wireless networks is the coexistence of different radio access networks aimed for integration of different set of technologies. In turn these networks will have various kinds of parameters like Jitter, Delay, Bandwidth, Area of Coverage and Power Consumption etc., which in turn impose new challenges on mobility management. The goal of next generation network is to give users a great flexibility to have access to desired services from different available networks on the basis of anywhere, anytime services with a principle called Always Best Connected (ABC). The contribution of this work is the design of network selection mechanism based on the user preference, network parameters with the implementation of sub layer fuzzy logic controller concept in a heterogeneous environment to select a network for desired running applications.
