Network access selection in heterogeneous wireless networks by Taiwo, Olugbenga Adekunle

“…In addition, not much has been done to investigate the sensitivity of RAT-selection criteria for multiple-calls in NGWNs. Therefore, this dissertation addresses these issues by focusing on following two main aspects: (1) comparative analysis of four candidate multi-criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) schemes that could be adapted for making RAT-selection decisions for multiple-calls, and (2) development of a new RAT-selection scheme named the consensus RAT-selection model. …”

Efficient access network selection and data demand prediction for 5G systems by Paul, Udita

“…Subscribers, equipped with multi-mode or multi homing mobile terminals, can connect to one or more RATs to receive the required services. They also often run multiple applications simultaneously and as such, it must be ensured that the best access technology is assigned to a particular subscriber to maintain quality of experience and service. …”

Evaluating Different Multi-Criteria Decision Methods for the Comparison and Investigation of Public Transport Projects by Papathanasiou, Shameez Patel

“…Generally speaking, a multiple criteria decision problem is a scenario in which having defined a set of actions/solutions (Do nothing / Upgrade Rail / Additional buses etc.) and a consistent family of criteria (Cost / Accessibility / Safety etc.), the Decision Maker (DM) tends to determine the best subset of actions and solutions according to the criteria (choice problem), divide the solutions into subsets representing specific classes of solutions according to the concrete classification rules (sorting problem) or rank the actions and solutions from best to worst, according to the criteria (ranking problem) (Zak, 2010). …”
