| Abstract | Cell sizes of the Fifth Generation (5G) of mobile networks grow inexorably smaller because of the massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) and millimeter wave communication technologies to be used. It is therefore challenging to address the mobility management, especially vertical handover in 5G networks. In this paper, an intelligent vertical handover framework is proposed and discussed to simplify the network selection, and to reduce the handover latency and frequency. Integrating Media-independent handover (MIH) and Software-defined network (SDN) technologies, the core of our design is to ensure the handover happens between only two potential networks regardless of the available types of technologies. For this purpose, we exploit three types of handover information with a new pre-selection scheme to eliminate unqualified networks and generate a network ranking. Moreover, with the introduction of steady period, we use the feature of SDN to deliver the best two candidate networks to the two-dimensional (2D) cost function module for the final decision. Simulation results show that our proposed framework can accurately select the optimal network in an efficient manner even if a number of access technologies exist. Furthermore, our framework reduces the vast backhaul traffic during a vertical handover process and keeps the backhaul energy consumption low. Eventually, simulation also shows superiority when the cell sizes are diverse. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
