Game theory based vertical handoff decision model for media independent handover in heterogeneous wireless networks

摘要

The heterogeneous wireless network includes various access technologies, which are developed for supporting particular network specifications. So, in case of service degradation in any network nodes, handover becomes necessary to successfully carry out data transmission. But, if the handover process is performed without considering network resources; then the traffic handover will be not be processed effectively. This leads to the failure of performance of the network. So in this paper, we propose to develop a game theory based vertical handoff decision model for media independent handover in heterogeneous wireless networks. The nodes experiencing service degradation initiates handover, after estimating the resource requirements in the network. Then traffic handover is based on the game theory based vertical handoff decision model.
