Wireless communication of the future will comprise of several heterogeneous networks
whose access technologies will vary to a large extent on the network capacity, data rates …

The increased growth in consumer demand for seamless access to communication services
anywhere and anytime is inevitably driving an accelerated technological development …

In this paper we investigate the potentiality and the benefits of a soft Vertical Handover
(VHO) mechanism, compared with the traditional hard approach. More specifically, we …

The vertical handover mechanism is an essential issue in the heterogeneous wireless
environments where selection of an efficient network that provides seamless connectivity …

Due to a deployment of different networks technologies such as 3G (UMTS, IEEE 802.11),
