Energy-Efficient Handoff Decision Algorithms for CSH-MU Mobility Solution

A real-time power monitoring and energy-efficient network/interface selection tool for android smartphones

“…Current energy-aware network/interface selection schemes [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] are either mobile-initiated or network-assisted and generally run depending on a specific metric like cost-function [10,12], traffic-volume [13,15], fuzzy-logic [14,22], mobility pattern-aware [16], location-assisted [17], context-aware [18], speed-sensitive [20], delay-tolerant [23], etc. For instance, authors in [25] propose a fuzzy vertical handoff algorithm that triggers handoff from a resource to another, when the energy consumption of the device increases or the connection time with the resource decreases.…”

“…Figure 9 illustrates the experimental test-bed environment. In this scenario, there are two APs, each of which is located in different lab rooms 14 . These two APs and any device in between were able to reach the signals of each other.…”
