| description | In next generation wireless networks, the most tempting feature is the ability of the user to move smoothly over different access networks regardless of the network access technology. In this paper we study the benefit of Multiple Attribute Decision Making (MADM) strategies for network selection. We compare three of these methods naming Simple Additive Weighting (SAW), Multiplicative Exponential Weighting (MEW) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) in a realtime ns-3 simulation. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) provides the weights of attributes which allow the comparison in different types of applications. Therefore, we propose a performance evaluation model with a reconfiguration of AHP parameters used in the literature. Simulation results show that the proposed parameters provide an improvement of Delay and offer allowable Packet loss in different types of applications. |
