Radio resource management based on IEEE 802.21 Media Independent Service Framework

Abstract

As various radio access technologies and multi-mode terminals incorporating multiple network interfaces have appeared, interferences between wireless access networks have increased. This paper proposes radio resource management in heterogeneous radio access networks based on IEEE 802.21 Media Independent Service (MIS) Framework. The proposed schemes use MIS framework of IEEE 802.21 standard as a common platform to support radio resource management in heterogeneous networks.
