Abstract
Forthcoming wireless communications will be characterized by the
ubiquity of multiaccess. Despite the inherently increased complexity,
end-users should be able to take advantage of the most suitable access
network. Thus, access selection in an environment with different overlapping
radio technologies is of central interest and an architecture is needed that
performs equally well on single- and multi-operator scenarios, considers
several parameters, and respects the principle of layering. In this paper, we
introduce the Ambient Networks heterogeneous access selection architecture
explaining how it meets such requirements. We present the essential
architectural components and explain their interactions. We illustrate how
the proposed architecture works in practice and discuss recent results form
our prototype-based validation.
