SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR HANDOFF IN HETEROGENEOUS NETWORKS

摘要

A system for handoff in heterogeneous networks includes at least one processor for identifying contextual information associated with buffer management and data transmission for a handoff between radio access technology points of attachment for a client device; determining whether to perform the handoff based on the contextual information and quality of experience (QoE) parameters for an application on the client device; and executing the handoff based on the contextual information associated with buffer management and data transmission. An ongoing connection may be reestablished for control and multimedia data flow for the client device.
