Analysis of Fuzzy Network Selection Algorithm for Heterogeneous Wireless Mobile Networks

Abstract

Over the last couple of years, the recent pandemic rendered work operations to be mobile and relied heavily on real-time and traffic-intensive applications such as online classrooms and meetings. Since our working life requires seamless mobility and stable wireless connectivity, heterogeneous wireless networks gain more attention as key infrastructures to fulfill communication needs. Intelligent handover decision deems necessary to select the appropriate wireless network. An intelligent mechanism such as fuzzy logic proves to enhance such decision-making. Different membership functions used in a fuzzy inference system contribute to different network selection performances. This work evaluates different fuzzy membership functions, hence appropriate membership functions can be used in the design of fuzzy-based network selection mechanisms for heterogeneous wireless networks.
