Handover strategy of smart mobile terminals among heterogeneous wireless networks

Due to the variety of wireless networks, the handover among heterogeneous wireless networks has become a research hotspot in recent years. More attention have been paid to the radio access network and the core network than the terminal side. In the future the mobile terminal will face a myriad of air interfaces. To roam freely in such a complex network environment, the mobile terminal should be able to handle the known and unknown air interfaces. In this paper, we proposed the smart architecture of the mobile terminal based on multiband multimode radio (MMR), Also we designed a handover strategy for the smart mobile terminal. Using the proposed strategy the mobile terminals can handover among heterogeneous wireless networks and the users can access different network at will with one equipment.
