Abstract:
Enabling seamless connectivity in Internet of Things (IoT) based heterogeneous wireless networks and pervasive use of smartphones in daily life require high data speed and always-best-connected services. However, providing vertical handover management in heterogeneous wireless networks is a difficult and challenging task. Moreover, various issues are present in the current vertical handover management schemes such as inappropriate handover triggering, high handover delay, wrong network selection, etc. In order to address the
