Heterogeneity is one of the main features of future networks. Vertical Handover is the essential function in heterogeneous networks and handover decision is one of the most important step in vertical handover. Most of the network selection algorithms in handover decision follow the ABC (Always-Best-Connection) rules. In this paper, we propose a network selection method. Such a method follows the ASC (Always-Suitable-Connection) rules that consider both the status of available networks and user

An improved method based on combing weighting methods for GRA (Grey Relational Analysis) is proposed in [3], [4] and [5] . Reference [6] aims to select the most effective
