Improving Modified Grey Relational Method for Vertical Handover in Heterogeneous Networks

Abstract

With the advent of next-generation wireless network technologies, vertical handover has become indispensable to keep the mobile user always best connected (ABC) in a heterogeneous environment, especially the significant number of multimedia applications that require good quality of service (QoS) for users. To handle this issue, an improvement of modified Grey Relational Analysis (MGRA) to select the Always-Suitable-Connection (ASC) network has been proposed. Then, Fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) method has been used to determine the weight of criteria. In order to validate our contribution, the proposed method called E-MGRA has been applied to obtain the ranking of suitable network. Finally, a simulation has been presented to demonstrate the performances of our developed approach to reduce the number of handovers compared to the classical method.
