Nowadays, wireless packet data services are provided over Wireless MAN (WMAN) at a high data service rate, while 3G cellular networks provide wide-area coverage at a low data serv...
The commercial deployment of Mobile IPv6 has been hastened by the concepts of Integrated Wireless Networks and Overlay Networks, which are present in the notion of the forthcoming...

Abstract-- Wireless network devices are equipped with multiple access technologies like UMTS and Wireless LAN. The handover between the technologies has been widely studied in lite...
UMTS/WLAN integration offers considerable benefits for the users as well as for the mobile network. As soon as coverage is available, a mobile user should be able to switch seamle...

Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is a new end-to-end transport protocol that is featured ‘multi-homing.’ The mSCTP (mobile SCTP) is defined as SCTP with the capabili...
The paper mainly deals with a vertical handover decision algorithm based on the fuzzy control theory. The algorithm takes into consider the factors of Power Level, Cost and Bandwi...
— Cooperation amongst heterogeneous mobile radio systems will be an indispensable feature of ‘beyond 3G’. One key mechanism thereby serving as enabling technique for system i...
— In this work we develop Markovian models to study the dynamics of elastic calls in a cell served by HSDPA and WiMAX systems. We first present analytical models for interferenc...
We propose a simple and practical solution, called the Virtual Interface-based aPproach (VIP), for seamless vertical handover in single-subnet networks. VIP combines a virtual int...
– According to the commons model of cognitive radio, the activity of secondary (unlicensed) nodes is required to guarantee quality-of-service (QoS) constraints on the transmissio...
