Traffic Differentiation-Based Network Selection Scheme in Wireless Heterogeneous Networks

Abstract:

The emergence of wireless packet-switched networks such as Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), and wireless local area networks (WLANs) can provide voice, data, and video services for users. In this paper, we propose a network selection scheme in the wireless heterogeneous networks based on the traffic differentiation, conversational class, interactive class, streaming class, and background class. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed network scheme can decide the optimal network to handoff according to the traffic class.
