Abstract
In this paper, a handoff decision scheme is proposed with always best connected (ABC) supported. It comprehensively considers the status of the access network, the application QoS requirement, the preference of the user over the coding system of the access network, the preference of the user over the access network provider, the current speed of the terminal, and the residual electric quantity of the terminal. Based on the population migration algorithm (PMA) and gaming, it aims to find the Pareto-optimal solution under Nash equilibrium between the user utility and the network service provider utility. The simulation experiments demonstrate that the proposed scheme is effective.
