摘要
An improved vertical handover algorithm for multiple networks based on Bayesian decision is proposed. Firstly, the handover probability distribution is established considering multiple conditions including signal strength, bit error rate, blocking probability and user demands, and accordingly the prior handover probability is calculated. Secondly, the posterior probability based on Bayesian decision algorithm is got. Finally, the optimal access network is selected according to the decision strategy based on posterior probability. Simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm not only effectively achieves vertical handover among WLAN, WiMAX and LTE with the least number of handovers, but also keeps high average network load, which can provide the users with good service quality.
