Abstract: This paper addresses the problem of dynamic interface selection in a terminal embedded with multiple interfaces. A mathematical model, to select the best interface for a particular application at a given instant, is described. It takes into consideration the available access networks and their characteristics. A handoff algorithm, for transparently switching active sessions between interfaces, is proposed.

Jukka Ylitalo,Tony Jokikyyny,Tero Kauppinen,A.J. Tuominen,J. Laine +4 more
- 06 Jan 2003
TL;DR: An interface selection mechanism for multihomed mobile hosts that allows for dynamic decision-making during the operation of a mobile device and the local routing is controlled by user-defined rules defining which interface to be used for a certain traffic flow.
OmniCon: a Mobile IP-based vertical handoff system for wireless LAN and GPRS links
TL;DR: This paper presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of a fully operational vertical handoff system, called OmniCon, which enables mobile nodes to automatically switch between wireless LAN and GPRS, based on wireless LAN availability, by introducing a simple extension to the existing Mobile IP implementation.
