Power consumption- based dynamic network selection in heterogeneous networks.

Abstract

Network selection is a critical task for mobileterminals moving in heterogeneous environment of next-generation wireless networks. Power consumption ofmobile terminal is a matter of great concern in the presentscenario for efficient network selection in integrated net-work of various wireless technologies. In this paper, mul-tiple attributes decision-making-based dynamic networkselection method PV–VPP is proposed by consideringpower consumption of mobile terminal at instantaneousbattery level in heterogeneous networks
