Abstract

The hybrid networks of WLAN and WMAN can provide high data rate and enhanced multimedia services, but there are many challenges to obtain handover decision based dynamic QoS information. IEEE 802.21 aims at providing a framework that defines media independent handover (MIH) mechanism that supports seamless handover across hetero geneous networks. In this paper, we propose a new approach network selection algorithm using MIH between WLAN and WMAN. Our simulation results give the best network selection with QoS between WLAN and WMAN.
