Intelligent network functionalities in wireless 4G networks: Integration scheme and simulation analysis

In future wireless and mobile environments it is likely that mobile stations will be able to choose between multiple access networks offering competing services. Wireless 4G network should offer a wide use of information processing techniques, efficient manipulation of the network resources, and reuse of network functions. It should also allow the insertion of supplementary capacities making it easy to add services. In this article, first we study the design of intelligent services in wireless fourth generation networks. Then, we propose several intelligent network functionalities to determine the best network to use efficiently. Finally, we study the effect of the intelligent functions on the network performance using simulation analysis.
