Abstract
5G vehicular networks are designed to provide a guaranteed Quality-of-Service (QoS) in a heterogeneous wireless access technologies environment. In this case, the mobility management problem especially vertical handover decision should be carefully studied. In this paper, we work in a Software Defined Networking (SDN) environment. We propose two vertical handover decision schemes: user-centric where the handover decision is processed in the vehicles and network-centric where the handover decision is centralized in the network side. For both schemes, we use the Media Independent Handover for handover signaling and integrate the utility theory in the network selection calculation. Finally, we run several simulation scenarios in order to formalize a comparative conclusion about the proposed schemes.
