Abstract

Heterogeneous wireless networks are converging towards an all-IP network as part of the so-called next-generation network. In this paradigm, different access technologies need to be interconnected; thus, vertical handovers are necessary for seamless mobility. In this paper, an artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm for real-time vertical handover using different objective function has been presented to find the optimal network to connect. It can select an optimal set of weights for specified values, and find the optimal network selection solution. Simulation results illustrate that the proposed ABC algorithm has better performances than the existing methods in many evaluating parameters, and the computational time is also minimized.
