Abstract EN
The telecommunication infrastructure in emergency scenarios is necessarily composed of heterogeneous radio/mobile portions.
Mobile Nodes (MNs) equipped with multiple network interfaces can assure continuous communications when different Radio Access Networks (RANs) that employ different Radio Access Technologies (RATs) are available.
In this context, the paper proposes the definition of a Decision Maker (DM), within the protocol stack of the MN, in charge of performing network selections and handover decisions.
The DM has been designed to optimize one or more performance metrics and it is based on Multiattribute Decision Making (MADM) methods.
Among several MADM techniques considered, taken from the literature, the work is then focused on the TOPSIS approach, which allows introducing some improvements aimed at reducing the computational burden needed to select the RAT to be employed.
The enhanced method is called Dynamic-TOPSIS (D-TOPSIS).
Finally, the numerical results, obtained through a large simulative campaign and aimed at comparing the performance and the running time of the D-TOPSIS, the TOPSIS, and the algorithms found in the literature, are reported and discussed.
