Coexistence of various wireless access networks and the ability of mobile terminals to switch between them make an optimal selection of serving networks for multicast groups a challenging problem. Since optimal network selection requires large dimensions of data to be collected from several network locations and sent between several network components, the scalability can easily become a bottleneck in largescale systems. Therefore, reducing data exchange within heterogeneous wireless networks is important. We study the decision-making process and the data that needs to be sent between different network components. We present two decentralized solutions to this problem that operate with reduced sets of information. We define the upper and lower bounds to these solutions and evaluate them in the OMNet++ simulation environment. Both solutions provide a substantial improvement in performance compared to the lower bound.

AbstractPurpose -Coexistence of various wireless access networks and the ability of mobile terminals to switch between them make an optimal selection of serving networks for multicast groups a challenging problem. Since optimal network selection requires large dimensions of data to be collected from several network locations and sent between several network components, the scalability can easily become a bottleneck in large-scale systems. Therefore, reducing data exchange within heterogeneous wireless networks is important. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach -The authors study the decision-making process and the data that need to be sent between different network components. To analyze the operation of the wireless heterogeneous network, the authors built a mathematical model of the network. The objective is defined as a minimization of multicast streams in the system. To evaluate the heuristic solutions, the authors define the upper and lower bounds to their operation. Findings -The proposed heuristic solutions substantially reduce the usage of bandwidth in mobile networks and exchange of information between the network components. Originality/value -The authors proposed the approach that allows network selection in a decentralized manner with only limited information shared among the decision makers. The authors studied how different sets of information available to decision makers influenced the performance of the system. The work also investigates the usage of multiple paths for multicast in heterogeneous mobile environments.

In wireless network convergence, each mobile host is expected to have multiple kinds of wireless interfaces. Multicast‐based applications are expected to be widely deployed. In this paper, a new network selection scheme is proposed for a mobile host to select the most appropriate wireless access network to maximize user satisfaction and ISP's profit, simultaneously. We have devised a metric to measure a user's satisfaction and we also developed a ‘normalized network resource’ metric for system profit measure. We have compared our scheme with three other reference schemes, through simulations. Depending on the network deployment situations, our scheme exhibits one‐fifth service disruption time of other reference schemes, while the resource consumption of our scheme is comparable to that of the minimum resource scheme. Overall, the gain of our scheme becomes higher as users move faster and/or the population density increases. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
