ABSTRACT Providing service continuity to the end users with best quality is a very important issue in the next To achieve this issue, this paper proposes an intelligent network selection strategy which combines two multi attribute decision making (MADM) methods such as analytic network process (ANP) and the technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) method. The ANP method is used to find the differentiate weights of available networks by considering each criterion and the TOPSIS method is applied to rank the alternatives. Our new strategy for network selection can dealing with the limitations of MADM methods which are the ranking abnormality and the ping-ponf effect.
In this context, the work in REF proposed intelligent network selection strategy which combines two MADM algorithms the ANP method to the TOPSIS technique.
