Abstract

Next-generation wireless environment depends on the multiple networks supported by different operators for various applications. In this heterogeneous environment, users can connect to various radio access networks and have seamless connectivity. Network selection plays a vital role for the users to connect to the best access network available because each access network differs in bandwidth, cost, energy usage, and coverage area. In this paper, an access network selection method to select the best suitable network is proposed. Game theoretic approaches are used for the strategy between the user and network to form cooperation so that users can get better QoS at a reasonable cost and each access network can increase their revenue.
