“…This responds to changes in the low-level wireless interfaces as to the availability or nonavailability of certain networks. Reactive handovers can be further divided into anticipated and unanticipated handovers [9]. Anticipated handovers are soft handovers which describe the situation where there are alternative basestations to which the mobile node may handover.…”

The development and deployment of several wireless and cellular networks mean that users will demand to be always connected as they move around. Mobile nodes will therefore have several interfaces and connections will be seamlessly switched among available networks using vertical handover techniques. Proactive handover mechanisms can be combined with the deployment of a number of location-based systems that provide location information to a very high degree of accuracy in different contexts. Furthermore, this new environment will also allow contextual information such as user profiles as well as the availability of using location and contextual information to provide efficient handover mechanisms. Using location-based techniques, it is possible to demonstrate that the Time Before Vertical Handover as well as the Network Dwell Time can be accurately estimated. These techniques are dependent on accurately estimating the handover radius. This paper investigates how location and context awareness can be used to estimate the best handover radius. The paper also explores how such techniques may be integrated into the Y-Comm architecture which is being used to explore the development of future mobile networks. Finally, the paper highlights the use of ontological techniques as a mechanism for specifying and prototyping such systems.

“…This layer resides in the mobile node (MN) and contributes to the clientcontrolled vertical handover approach [4] which we have adopted in this study. In a client-controlled approach, the MN plays an active role in deciding when to perform a vertical handover.…”

“…The vertical handover layer supports both network-based and client-based handovers. However, we believe that client-based handover offers many advantages over network-based handover for heterogeneous networking [15]. Vertical handovers require complete knowledge of the state of wireless networks to which the mobile node is attached.…”

In the near future mobile devices with several interfaces will become commonplace. Most of the peripheral networks using the Internet will therefore employ wireless technology. To provide support for these devices, this paper proposes a new framework which encompasses the functions of both peripheral and core networks.The framework is called Y-Comm and is defined in a layered manner like the OSI model.
