Abstract

In recent times, there has been an ubiquitous, ever growing and continuous user demand for high data rate at the least cost. This is required for the smart applications and various mobile apps which have been increasing in numbers, by the day. To support these applications, it becomes necessary to incorporate effective and efficient vertical handover decision algorithms (VHDAs) during the design of network architecture. In this research paper, we have implemented VHDA considering a practical scenario, which is based on measured values of input parameters—RSS, bandwidth, cost and velocity of the user. We have considered three networks scenario i.e. 3G, 4G and WLAN.
