Multi-objective Optimization Model for Network Selection in Multihomed Devices
Résumé
Nowadays, the increasing diversity of wireless tech- nologies opens the possibility for a mobile device to exploit the aggregated capacity of multiple wireless networks. This aggregated capacity gives different possible assignations of on- going flows to the available interfaces, that may depend on user-imposed restrictions, applications QoS or energy constraints. In this paper, we model the flow-to-interface assignation prob- lem considering bandwidth and energy constraints as a multi- objective optimization problem and use genetic algorithms to search for optimal solutions. We discuss optimal solutions found through the proposed model.
