Abstract
The concept of being always online, regardless of the time and place,
has been one of the hot topics in the commercial and scientific forums
during the last years. The term itself is not solidly defined, however
it is often used to refer to user's ability to get the same services via
changing variety of underlying networks. In order to really work, this
kind of multiaccess in heterogeneous networks still requires research,
technological achievements and even compromises. The key to successfully
implement the multiaccess is vertical handover that allows the
application services to be seamlessly transferred between different
networks.
