In zones where wireless access networks
of various type, coverage, technology
and capacity are available,
mobility has to deal with the user
equipment’s ability to seamlessly
switch between different links, even
in the middle of an active session.
The network has to continuously
cope with the selection of a possible
new channel for the mobile terminal,
and the soundness of this decision
has a tremendous impact on the
overall performance of the network
and quality of service. This survey
presents vertical handover related
background, research challenges
an state-of-the-art proposals in this
field.
