Abstract

Mobile terminal with multiradios is getting common nowadays with the presence of heterogeneous wireless networks such as 3G, WiMAX, and WiFi. That Network selection mechanism plays an important role in ensuring mobile terminals are always connected to the most suitable network. In this paper, we introduce and evaluate the performance of load distribution model to facilitate better network selection. We focus on the optimization of network resource utilization using the particle swarm optimizer (PSO) with the objective to distribute the system load according to the various conditions of the heterogeneous networks in order to achieve minimum system cost. Simulation results showed that the proposed approach outperformed the conventional iterative algorithm by a cost improvement of 7.24% for network size of 1000 mobile terminals using 10 particles.
