A Policy-Based Vertical Handover System

, , , and . Technical Report, 471. Department of Computer Science, (May 2010)

Abstract

The integration of different wireless transmission technologies provides several opportunities to perform load control and to optimize the Quality of Experience (QoE) of the end user. However, several problems occur when integrating these technologies. Each technology has its strengths and weaknesses in certain areas and several different approaches have to be applied to measure the performance. The contribution of this work is a proposal of a combined WLAN-UMTS network. We introduce three different policies on which we base the vertical handover decision, the load in the cell, Quality of Service (QoS) constraints, and user mobility. Simulation results illustrate how the policies are applied.
