  • Abstract
    This paper presents an energy efficient radio access network (RAN) selection for vertical handover between heterogeneous networks. The proposed RAN selection switches evaluation bases by application and adaptively selects a RAN with low energy consumption. In addition, the selection employs a penalty function that avoids discarded vertical handovers to reduce handover overhead and network loading by reducing the integrations.
