Abstract
Significant research to establish a seamless connection through a vertical handover process has been carried out in the past. Selecting a suitable access network to support roaming, give rise to wide challenges. A mobile terminal decides when to transfer the call connection through a handover process and the entire control process is carried out by the mobile devices. A mobile terminal based decision often creates high latency and thereby gives way for high call drop as the terminal or the mobile user is unaware of the network conditions. The aim of this paper is to design and implement network-controlled selection for handover process. TOPSIS and VIKOR are compared to selection score to utilize MADM scheme to perform handover in a wireless network to avoid unnecessary handover.
