Enhanced Fuzzy-based Handover Decision System Design for Wireless Mobile Networks

Abstract

Numerous fuzzy-based algorithms have been suggested to enhance the intelligence of handover decision system for wireless mobile networks. However, most existing algorithms are based on a monolithic fuzzy engine design resulting in a large algorithm execution time, if a number of decision parameters is large and gives a poorer network selection performance, when dealing with different traffic types. In this paper, an enhanced fuzzy-based handover decision system design is proposed to address the above issues. The proposed design is presented and the simulation results show that the proposed design enhances the network selection performance and reduces the algorithm execution time.
