Abstract
Examples are disclosed for executing vertical handovers of wireless devices configured to couple with heterogeneous wireless networks.
Claims29
A method for vertical handovers of wireless devices configured to couple with heterogeneous wireless networks, the method comprising:
- receiving an indication of one or more triggering events associated with vertical handovers of wireless devices;
- responsive to the received indication, coordinating a first vertical handover for a first wireless device with a second vertical handover for a second wireless device, the first wireless device coupled to a first wireless network and the second wireless device coupled to a second wireless network;
- and
- executing the first vertical handover and the second vertical handover based at least upon vertical handover information associated with a plurality of wireless devices.
An apparatus for vertical handovers of wireless devices configured to couple with heterogeneous wireless networks, the apparatus comprising:
- a vertical handover manager, the vertical handover manager including logic configured to:
- receive an indication of one or more triggering events associated with vertical handovers of wireless devices;
- responsive to the received indication, coordinate a first vertical handover for a first wireless device with a second vertical handover for a second wireless device, the first wireless device coupled to a first wireless network and the second wireless device coupled to a second wireless network;
- and
- execute the first vertical handover and the second vertical handover based at least upon vertical handover information associated with a plurality of wireless devices.
A system to execute vertical handovers of wireless devices configured to couple with heterogeneous wireless networks, the system comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a vertical handover manager coupled to the memory, the vertical handover manager including logic configured to:
- receive an indication of one or more triggering events associated with vertical handover of wireless devices;
- responsive to the received indication, coordinate a first vertical handover for a first wireless device with a second vertical handover for a second wireless device, the first wireless device coupled to a first wireless network and the second wireless device coupled to a second wireless network;
- and
- execute the first vertical handover and the second vertical handover based at least in part on vertical handover information associated with a plurality of wireless devices.
A computer program product comprising a signal bearing medium having instructions for executing vertical handovers of wireless devices configured to couple with heterogeneous wireless networks, which, when executed by logic, cause the logic to:
- receive an indication of one or more triggering events associated with vertical handovers of wireless devices;
- responsive to the received indication, coordinate a first vertical handover for a first wireless device with a second vertical handover for a second wireless device, the first wireless device coupled to a first wireless network and the second wireless device coupled to a second wireless network;
- and
- execute the first vertical handover and the second vertical handover based at least in part on vertical handover information associated with a plurality of wireless devices.
