An algorithm for heterogeneous wireless network connections for user preferences and services

Heterogeneous wireless networks (HWNs) present a challenge in selecting the optimal network for user devices due to the overlapping availability of multiple networks. In order to help users choose the best HWN connection, this research is trying to build a decision-making framework that takes user preferences and network performance characteristics into account. Using a multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) method that incorporates fuzzy logic and the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP), our goal is to improve the decision-making process for network selection. The suggested system takes into account a number of network metrics, including latency, jitter, bandwidth, and cost, and uses user preferences to determine the relative importance of each to guarantee a tailored and adaptable recommendation. Our results demonstrate that the algorithm greatly enhances the efficiency of network selection and the level of user happiness, with UMTS being the best option for conversational services, WiMAX being the best for streaming, and LTE being the best for interactive services. Through the incorporation of user-centric decision-making into the network selection process, this research enhances adaptive wireless communication systems, leading to better user experience and network efficiency.

Abstract

Heterogeneous wireless networks (HWNs) present a challenge in selecting the optimal network for user devices due to the overlapping availability of multiple networks. In order to help users choose the best HWN connection, this research is trying to build a decision-making framework that takes user preferences and network performance characteristics into account. Using a multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) method that incorporates fuzzy logic and the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP), our goal is to improve the decision-making process for network selection. The suggested system takes into account a number of network metrics, including latency, jitter, bandwidth, and cost, and uses user preferences to determine the relative importance of each to guarantee a tailored and adaptable recommendation. Our results demonstrate that the algorithm greatly enhances the efficiency of network selection and the level of user happiness, with UMTS being the best option for conversational services, WiMAX being the best for streaming, and LTE being the best for interactive services. Through the incorporation of user-centric decision-making into the network selection process, this research enhances adaptive wireless communication systems, leading to better user experience and network efficiency.
