Energy-Friendly Network Selection in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks

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.…”

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

“…Nevertheless, this work mainly uses the same analytical power consumption estimation for different radio access technologies, which results in imprecise computations. In [73] Fan et al propose an energy-efficient interface selection strategy for real-time and non-real-time applications based on fuzzy logic that considers network conditions, user preferences and QoS requirements.…”

Performance evaluation of MADM-based methods for network selection in a multimedia wireless environment

“…[25][26][27][28]. Fuzzy logic is used when some of the criteria cannot be precisely obtained due to the complexity of the heterogeneous environment.…”
