Simulation Performance Comparison of Various Interface Activation Time Schemes for Vertical Handover in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks

This program represents the simulation code for a published IEEE PIMRC paper. It primarily investigates several interface activation time schemes for vertical handover in heterogeneous wireless network environments and evaluates their effectiveness through performance comparison simulations. The research focuses on network performance under different scenarios and proposes novel approaches to enhance vertical handover efficiency and reliability. The code implementation includes network scenario modeling, handover decision algorithms, and performance metric calculations. Through comparative analysis of different schemes, we derived valuable conclusions and provided reference directions for future research. This study holds significant importance for understanding and optimizing vertical handover processes in heterogeneous wireless networks, positively impacting network performance and user experience. The simulation framework employs event-driven programming to model network behaviors and implements various activation timing strategies through configurable parameter settings.
