Context aware vertical handover decision making in heterogeneous wireless networks

Provisioning continuous services while moving through heterogeneous wireless networks is a main issue in the fourth generation wireless Networks. An efficient vertical handover decision making algorithm that takes into account services´ requirements, considers users´ preferences and guaranties seamless handover over heterogeneous technologies is required. In this paper, we propose an intelligent context-aware solution that considers both users and services requirements. It is based on advanced decision approaches like fuzzy logic and analytic hierarchy processes.
