TL;DR
This paper proposes a holistic, conceptual model for cognitive handoffs in the future Internet, aiming to achieve multiple objectives simultaneously through environment-aware, policy-based decision-making.
Contribution
It introduces a new soft model for cognitive handoffs that integrates multiple purposes and tradeoffs, advancing beyond existing schemes.
Findings
Identified key performance parameters for cognitive handoffs
Demonstrated tradeoffs between conflicting objectives
Argued for cognitive handoffs as future Internet archetype
Abstract
Current handoffs are not designed to achieve multiple desirable features simultaneously. This weakness has resulted in handoff schemes that are seamless but not adaptive, or adaptive but not secure, or secure but not autonomous, or autonomous but not correct, etc. To face this limitation, we initiated a research project to develop a new kind of handoff system which attains multiple purposes simultaneously by using context information from the external and internal handoff environment. We envision a cognitive handoff as a multipurpose, multi-criteria, environment-aware, and policy-based handoff that trades-off multiple objectives to reach its intended goals. This paper presents a conceptual (soft) model of cognitive handoffs using a holistic approach. We applied the proposed model to identify cognitive handoff performance parameters and tradeoffs between conflicting objectives. We argue…
