Abstract
With wireless access technologies maturing, the wireless network environments have a characteristic of multiple networks overlapping, called heterogeneous wireless networks. As a key procedure of the always best connected (ABC) concept, handoff decision schemes need to consider with plenty of factors. Based on the game analysis and a cloud evolution algorithm, it is proposed that a cloud evolution-based handoff decision scheme with ABC supported to maximize user utility and network provider utility. Simulation results show that this scheme can search the optimal solution efficiently and has good performance.
