The future wireless communication networks, heterogeneous network designing are very important and commonsystems. In heterogeneous network, more than one wireless standard can exist so that end users having the freedom to choosethe connectivity based on application requirements and environmental conditions. The two main building blocks ofheterogeneous networks is IEEE 802.11 (called WiFi) and IEEE 802.16 (Called WiMax) due to their cost-effectiveness,sustainability, and capability of supporting the high data rate in wireless communications. The integration andinteroperability of WiFi and WiMax networks is challenging tasks since from last decade. The WiFi standard provides theconnectivity with short communication range and less infrastructure support. The WiMax needs the specific infrastructureand provides long communication range. Therefore designing handover decision method for WiFi-WiMax integration ischallenging task in order to achieve the less power consumption, QoS and QoE requirements. In this paper, we areproposing efficient handover decision technique for WiFi-WiMax integration with goal of achieving, QoS, QoE as well asguaranteed energy efficiency performance. We are proposing bandwidth management algorithm and energy managementalgorithm. Based on these two algorithms proposed handover decision policy is designed to achieve the QoS, QoE andenergy efficiency.
