Abstract :
During the last years, software applications performing scenarios related to vertical handovers were revealed. However, the great majority of these demonstrators were designed and optimized for multimode notebooks, having a fair amount of processing power. This article aims to describe on how to implement and optimize the main components of the IEEE 802.21 standard on a device like a smartphone powered by a mobile operating system. Performance evaluations were made in this purpose showing reasonable delays, taking us one step closer to achieving a seamless vertical handover on a mobile terminal.
