Abstract

Heterogeneous wireless networks comprise of variety of wireless technologies integrated to satisfy user’s demand. Vertical handover algorithm is the need of present scenario to select optimum network among the available networks. Multiple attribute decision making based handover algorithm are capable to select optimum network having requisite set of context parameters. Context information related to quality of service parameters offered by networks varies with movement of mobile terminal. Thus, context and movement aware has been designed with vector normalized preferred performance based VIKOR method (CMV-VPP). The performance has been analyzed for conversational traffic and compared with other available normalization methods as MAX normalization based VIKOR (CMV-MAX) and Vector normalization based VIKOR (CMV-VEC) methods. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm performs better in terms of network selection and number of handovers as compared with other methods used in this work.
