Electronics Nuclear engineering The current extraordinary growth of wireless technology promises an even greater effect on how people communicate, interact and enjoy their entertainment. The growing advances in research and development of wireless communication technologies and the increasing capabilities of electronic devices are driving an evolution towards ubiquitous services to mobile users. Wireless networks become increasingly interoperable with each other and with the high-speed wired networks. This reflects a paradigm shift towards new generations of mobile networks where seamless mobility across heterogeneous networks becomes fundamental. This generation is referred to as fourth generation (4G). 4G wireless networks is envisioned as a convergence of different wireless access technologies providing the user with the best anywhere, anytime connection and improving the system resource utilization.

Vertical handover, a term used to indicate the handover between two access nodes of two different technologies, is an issue in heterogeneous networks since each technology has its own mobility management solution.
