The technologies used to link the end-user to a telecommunication infrastructure, has been changing over time due to the consolidation of new access technologies. Moreover, the emergence of new tools for information dissemination, such as interactive digital TV, makes the selection of access technology, factor of fundamental importance. One of the greatest advantages of using digital TV as means to disseminate information is the installation of applications. In this chapter, a load characterization of a typical application embedded in a digital TV is performed to determine its behavior. However, it is important to note that applications send information through an access technology. Therefore, this chapter, based on the study on load characterization, developed a methodology combining Bayesian networks and technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) analytical approach to provide support to service providers to opt for a technology (power line communication, PLC, wireless, wired, etc.) for the return channel.

“…Various MADM techniques for handoff decision optimization abound in the literature (c.f. [17][18][19][20]). However, no one technique is superior as there exist drawbacks in them such as ranking abnormality, subjective experts' judgment, uncertainties in human preference and penalizing behaviour towards poor attributes.…”

“…A novel user preference oriented network selection algorithm (UPNS) was proposed, by combining entropy theory and fuzzy analytic hierarchy process algorithm (FAHP) with service level agreement (SLA) management model [4]. In [5], an effective access network selection algorithm for heterogeneous wireless networks was proposed that combines two Multi Attribute Decision Making (MADM) methods, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method and the Total Order Preference by Similarity to the Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method. In [6] they proposed an optimal distributed network selection scheme in heterogeneous wireless networks considering multimedia application layer QoS.…”

ABSTRACT:Always best connected services (ABC) allow multimode mobile terminals to stay connected to the best available networks, at anytime according to user preferences. One of the key aspects in realizing such ABC service is mainly attributed to an effective and dynamic access network selection process. However, most of the previous works consider the access network selection process as a static optimization problem which fails to address the dynamic QoS conditions intrinsic in wireless networks. One of the main challenges remaining is to find an efficient way of obtaining dynamic QoS parameters such as available bandwidth. In this paper, propose a novel dynamic access network selection algorithm capable of adapting to prevailing network conditions. Proposed algorithm is an estimation process where network selection in heterogeneous wireless environment (WiMAX & WLAN) performed using available bandwidth estimation relies on dynamic parameters designed using .net.
