Abstract

The seamless communication between the devices of the heterogeneous wireless networks still remains as a challenge due to the delay incurred, the cost difference and the bandwidth variations.so it becomes necessary for a perfect management of the hand over and the selection of the network to provide a continuous conveyance in the broadcasting or the sharing of the information's. So the paper initiates an enhanced network selection and a vertical hand over schema that is context aware and based on the user preference utilizing the grey relational analysis integrated with the particle swarm optimization. The performance analysis of the proposed method of vertical handover evinces the perfect network selection that enables a continuous connection for the heterogeneous networks and shows an enhanced throughput and latency in handover compared to the other methods like TOPSIS (technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution) and SAW(simple additive weighting).
