Abstract

The authors develop a network selection scheme for an integrated cellular/wireless LAN system. The design goal is to provide the user the best available Quality of Service (QoS) at any time. The increasing demand for broadband service, at least in hot spot areas, in today’s wireless communications is causing cellular network providers to consider the integration of 3G cellular systems and wireless LAN. This has the particular advantage of high data rates and unlicensed spectrum. Consequently, network selection techniques play a vital role in ensuring quality of service in heterogeneous networks. In this article we develop a network selection scheme for an integrated cellular/wireless LAN system. The design goal is to provide the user the best available QoS at any time. The proposed scheme comprises two parts, with the first applying an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to decide the relative weights of evaluative criteria set according to user preferences and service applications, while the second adopts grey relational analysis (GRA) to rank the network alternatives with faster and simpler implementation than AHP. Simulations conducted in a heterogeneous system with UMTS and wireless LAN reveal that the proposed network selection technique can effectively decide the optimum network through making trade-offs among network condition, user preference, and service application, while avoiding frequent handoffs.
