Optimization of Multi-Objective Emperor Penguin Handovers Over Dissimilar Networks

Abstract

Media independent handover (IEEE 802.21 MIH) services are an area of particular focus for IEEE. The primary objective of IEEE 802.21 MIH is to streamline the handover procedure, resulting in a more reliable and less time-consuming handover service. There are two distinct kinds of handoffs, called horizontal and vertical, respectively. Among these, the performance of vertical handover (VH) can be improved through parameter optimization. In order to achieve the best possible outcome and reduce the rate of handover failure, careful parameter selection is required. Despite the fact that many options exist for VH management optimisation processes, many current works only consider one or two parameters for VH optimisation. Therefore, the ideal handover solution that emerges is inferior in terms of reliability, responsiveness, and precision. So, a technique called multi-objective emperor penguin handover optimisation (MOEPHO), which takes into account nearly all network characteristics for VH optimisation is discussed in this chapter.
