Title
Team decision approach for decentralized network selection of mobile clients.
Abstract
We consider a network selection problem for a group of mobile clients that operate in a heterogeneous wireless access network environment and that are equipped with multiple access network interfaces. The involved networks cooperate in order to improve their own, and the mobile clients' performance. We formulate the problem as a team decision problem. In this formulation, several decision variables are involved and these decisions are made by several decision makers with access to different information but contributing to a common goal. The novelty of the proposed approach is that the network selection is done in a decentralized manner with only limited information available to decision makers. We present two decentralized algorithms to this problem, which we compare and evaluate in the OMNet++ simulation environment.
