Most of the existing vertical handover algorithms are only based on user centric or network
centric, which do not fully consider the common impact of the two sides on the handover …

Abstract Current research on Vertical HandOver algorithm based on Artificial Neural
Network (ANN-VHO) has a poor service adaptability and high computational complexity …

Heterogeneous networks provide more flexibility in term of service continuation and capacity
to mobile users by having multi-layer networks of different wireless system and interfaces …

Considering the differences in Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of different application
classes in heterogeneous wireless networks, this paper proposes an individualization …

With the massive deployment of sophisticated personal devices equipped with different
access technologies for both wireless and cellular, mobile users should benefit from service …

We propose a novel vertical handoff scheme with the support of the software‐defined
networking technique for heterogeneous wireless networks. The proposed scheme solves …

In the heterogeneous wireless networks, the parameter weight is difficult to determine for the
vertical handover algorithm considering the parameters of the network and the user, at the …

In the group vertical handover (GVHO) scenario, many mobile terminals (MTs) send
handover requests almost at the same time. The traditional vertical handover (VHO) …

Heterogeneous wireless networks (HWNs) have aroused numerous interest in the past few
years in which efficient vertical handoff algorithms are currently attracting much attention …

The heterogeneity is one of the key characteristics of the future wireless networks. How to
