Abstract In the future wireless network, mobile nodes will be able to choose between multiple access networks offering competing services. Wireless 4G network should offer a wide use of information processing techniques, an efficient manipulation of the network resources, and reuse of network functions. It should also allow the insertion of supplementary capacities making it easy to add services. In this paper, first we study the design of intelligent services in wireless fourth generation. Then, we propose several intelligent algorithms for the MS to determine the best network and for network to use resources efficiently. Finally, we study the effect of the intelligent functions on the network performance.
Key Words: 4G systems, intelligent networks, handoff, simulation, performance evaluation.
