Energy Efficient Handover in HetNets Using IEEE 802.21

Energy-Efficient Vertical Handover Parameters, Classification and Solutions over Wireless Heterogeneous Networks: A Comprehensive Survey

“…There have been many works proposed in the literature that focus on energy-efficient interface/network selection. These works are either network-assisted or mobile-initiated [74][75][76][77][78] and mainly utilize specific decision strategies to provide energy efficient interface/network selection, such as reputation-based [46], cost-function [47][48][49], fuzzy-logic [50,53], context-aware [52,55,58,72], location-assisted [68,69], history-based [71], etc.…”

“…An important amount of interface/network selection algorithms proposed in the literature makes use of the IEEE 802.21 MIH and ANDSF protocols. Some of these works [43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55] summarized below. Sukyoung et al in [45] propose an IEEE 802.21 MIH-assisted VHO algorithm that aims at balancing the overall load among all PoAs and maximize the collective battery lifetime of mobile devices.…”

“…Unlike the aforementioned algorithms, Coskun et al in [52] [54] utilizes specific parameters (e.g., user mobility, user preferences, application requirements, and network conditions) and proposes an energy-efficient MIH-assisted network selection procedure for multimedia delivery over wireless heterogeneous networks. The proposed method increases the battery lifetime of mobile devices by selecting the network that offers the best energy-quality trade-off, while performing multimedia content delivery.…”
