Outline Heterogeneous networs (HetNet) WLAN-LTE VHO Procedure Design Mathematical Modelling of VHO Procedure Numerical analysis Further research
Focus: Heterogeneity and Heterogeneous Networs Heterogeneity covers different functional level of future networs : mobility support, seamless connection/roaming, security and pacet routing. Ubiquity of HetNet is an integration and cooperation between different radio access networs or networ elements. User-centric policy is more preferable than Networ-centric policy in the context of HetNetand Internet of Thing.
Heterogeneous Networ Slices : Internet of Things Can Access All Infrastructure Resources With Multi-Mode Terminal networ slices as end-to-end (E2E) logical networs running on a common underlying (physical or virtual) networ, mutually isolated, with independent control and management, which can be created on demand Ordonez-Lucune, J. et al., IEEE Comm. Mag., May, 2017, p.81.
Heterogeneous Networs and Handover Types Horizontal handover homogeneous networ; Vertical handover - heterogeneous networ; The aim of our research: 1) Full VHO procedure with authorization, authentication, re-connection and de-registration. 2) Sojourn VHO time estimation.

Conclusion and Further research: 1. We developed a mathematical model for vertical handover estimation as a queueing networ. 2. We recommend approximate method for sojourn VHO time and its quantile estimation using multistage queueing networ model with bacground traffic. 3. This method of sojourn time quantile estimation in multistage queueing system has following advantages: possibility of sojourn time cumulative distribution function calculation, method of sojourn time quantile estimation, accuracy of estimation as compared with the simulation model (<7%). 4.
