Abstract

Access selection is an important key in heterogeneous networks, and the design of a new algorithm for decision is not a trivial task. Different aspects must be taken into consideration while designing a new decision algorithm, including both users' requirements (in terms of resources, QoS, user's preferences), and operator policies that aim to maximise the utilisation of its network capacity and to deliver services with acceptable QoS levels for the largest number of customers. Thus, in this paper, we propose a new selection algorithm based on user's preferences. The comparison between the proposed scenarios is given based on several performance indicators. The results show the improvement achieved by increasing the resource utilisation and therefore the overall system capacity.
