Heterogeneous Wireless Networks: Configuration and Vertical Handoff Management

Vertical handoff is one of the most important issues for the next generation heterogeneous wireless networks. However, in many situations, unbeneficial vertical handoffs occur across intersystem heterogeneous networks cause network performance degradation. Therefore, we propose a novel configuration architecture that can be deployed in the next generation of wireless networks. Second, we propose a predictive and adaptive Vertical Handoff Decision Scheme that optimizes the handoff initiation time as well as selection of the most optimal network. The proposed vertical handoff decision algorithm considers the technology type as well as the Signal to Interference Ratio (SIR), the Mobile Station (MS) velocity, the user preferences, the applications requirements and the terminal capabilities as the most important factors to make vertical handoff decision. In order to minimize handoff costs, the proposed decision algorithm uses the dwell timer concept. The handoff costs are analyzed in terms of unnecessary and unbeneficial handoffs rate.The simulation results show that the reduction of unnecessary handoffs proposed in our vertical handoff decision scheme reduces the handoff blocking probability, the packets loss rate and the handoff overhead

Cybersecurity Issues in Wireless Sensor Networks: Current Challenges and Solutions

The spectrum is a scarce resource and shall be used efficiently. It is observed that fixed spectrum allocation techniques, currently in use, may not be able to accommodate increased number of users trying simultaneously to access the network. Researches suggest that this problem of spectrum scarcity can be addressed by cognitive radio networks; which permits the dynamic use of spectrum. One of the basic requirements of dynamic spectrum access in cognitive radio network is spectrum handoff. There is an associated issue with frequent spectrum handoffs and that is of the ping-pong ect. The ping-pong ect is caused due to the motion of mobile users between the adjacent cells, thus, initiating unnecessary spectrum handoffs. The purpose of this study is to develop and analyse a system that has the ability to perform cient decision about the execution of spectrum handoffs and in turn reduce the chances of ping-pong ect. Therefore, a fuzzy logic based system has been developed in a cognitive radio WLAN and UMTS environment and handoff is investigated between primary and secondary users. Our proposed hybrid system uses a two-stage fuzzy logic controller to reduce the number of ping-pong handoffs. In the rst stage, the system is designed to control the power of SU and to avoid any interference to PU. In the second stage, the system is designed to take the decision to execute handoff.

     

Artificial Neural Network Based Vertical Handoff Algorithm for Reducing Handoff Latency

One of the most challenging topics for next generation wireless networks is vertical handoff concept since several wireless technologies are assumed to cooperate. Plenty of parameters related to user preferences, application requirements, and network conditions, such as; data rate, service cost, network latency, speed of mobile, battery level, interference ratio and etc. must be considered in vertical handoff process along with traditional RSSI information. In this study, a new artificial neural network based handoff decision algorithm is proposed in order to reduce the handoff latency of smart terminal deployed in aforementioned wireless heterogeneous infrastructures. The prominent parameters data rate, monetary cost and RSSI information are taken as inputs of the developed vertical handoff decision system. Performance results of the proposed system are also compared with those of classical Multiple Attribute Decision Making method Simple Additive Weighting, and of some other artificial intelligence based algorithms. According to the results obtained, the proposed neural network based vertical handoff decision algorithm is able to determine whether a handoff is necessary or not properly, and selects the best candidate access network considering the abovementioned parameters. The results also show that, the neural network based algorithm developed significantly reduces the handoff latency while the number of handoffs, which is another vital performance metric, is still reasonable.     

A trajectory-aware handoff algorithm based on GPS information

In this paper, we propose a trajectory-aware handoff algorithm based on position, velocity, signaling delay, and receive signal strength (RSS) of mobile terminal (MT). In order to provide seamless service in modern heterogeneous networks, handoff of the MT should be initiated with correct timing. In our algorithm, velocity of MT is divided into two parts as radial velocity and tangential velocity. For more precise handoff initiation, tangential velocity of MT is neglected, and only radial velocity of MT is considered in handoff decision making. Moreover, before handoff decision, least square line method is applied to RSS of MT to avoid unnecessary back-and-forth handoffs (ping-pong handoffs) between different services. A simulation is provided to compare the proposed algorithm with other various handoff methods, and the results prove this algorithm to have outperformed others.     

Research on vertical handoff decision based on service history information and SINR for heterogeneous wireless networks

In this letter, we propose a SH (Service History) and SINR (Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio) based PROMETHEE (SHS-PROMETHEE) vertical handoff (VHO) decision algorithm. An attribute matrix is constructed considering the SH information and the SINR in the source network and the equivalent SINR in the target network and so on. Handoff decision meeting multi-attribute QoS requirement is made according to the traffic features. The weight relation of decision elements is determined with LS method. Finally decision is made using PROMETHEE algorithm based on the attribute matrix and weight vector. The simulation results have shown that the SHS-PROMETHEE algorithm can reduce unnecessary handoffs and provide satisfactory vertical handoff performance.     

An Optimum Vertical Handoff Decision Algorithm Based on Adaptive Fuzzy Logic and Genetic Algorithm

Handoff decision making is one of the most important topics in wireless heterogeneous networks architecture as there are many parameters which have to be considered when triggering handoff and selecting suitable access point. More intelligent approaches which reckon user profiles, application requirements, and network conditions must be improved so that desired performance results for both user and network could be provided. In this paper we introduce a new adaptive vertical handoff decision making algorithm in which fuzzy membership functions are optimized by means of genetic algorithm. Genetic algorithm is an adaptive search technique based on natural selection and genetic rules. In addition to that, it takes places in various scientific applications and can be used to adjust the membership functions in fuzzy systems. The purpose of the study is to adjust the shape of fuzzy membership functions, properly, using genetic algorithm in order to achieve optimum handoff performance. The results show that, compared to the several different algorithms performance of the proposed approach with genetic algorithm is significantly improved for both user and network in terms of number of handoff while the other requirements are still satisfied.
