Keywords:
decision-making strategies, EU projects, context-awareness, multi-objective decision models.Abstract
This paper provides an in-depth exploration of decision-making strategies for vertical handover and network selection in future wireless network technologies. It delves into the role of decision-making in optimizing performance and user satisfaction amidst the complexity of numerous technology options. The paper discusses various strategies and approaches such as multiple-attribute decision models, context-aware frameworks, and multi-criteria decision-making processes that aim to provide seamless connectivity and the highest quality network experience. It emphasizes the importance of including factors like network quality, signal strength, availability, cost, user preferences, and application requirements in these processes. Additionally, it sheds light on present limitations and proposes hybrid approaches that gather the benefits of context-awareness and multi-objective decision models. Furthermore, the paper gives an insightful glimpse into future prospects in the field, including ongoing EU projects, and stresses the importance of such strategies for the successful implementation of integrated wireless communication networks.
