I am working on vertical handoff in Heterogeneous wireless networks. I would like to create a mobile node with two or three network interface (Wi-Fi, LTE and WiMAX). however I don't have any idea how to do this! any help? you are welcome
In the same node model, you can have many radio transmitter receiver objects. You can start from an LTE node model, and you can add "wireless_lan_mac" process model from the Wi-Fi node model and the related radio transmitter and receiver objects. Then you add the WiMAX process model. You will need an additional process model to manage all the three access technologies, it will serve as an interface with higher layers (buffering, deciding which technology to use to transmit or to receive ...).
Please take a look at my publication : https://www.researchgate.net/publication/269269218_A_generic_mobile_node_architecture_for_multi-interface_heterogenous_wireless_link_layer
I have implement this on OMNeT++.
Wish this will help you.
