Abstract

In this paper we worked out to find the best solution for the two constraints in heterogeneous wireless environments: finding the best available network in a reasonable amount of time with optimized parameter values (such as cost of network should be minimum) and try to minimize the number of handovers, when mobile node is moving by overlap** of different wireless networks provided by different network providers. Here the decision problem is formulated as multiple objective optimization problems and simulated using cuckoo optimizing algorithm. In this paper our simulation result shows that the number of handovers can be minimized if we take optimized network parameter values.
