Heterogeneous Wireless Network Evaluation using VIKOR Approach

Wireless networks offer flexible and diverse wireless connectivity by integrating cellular networks, wireless LANs, and temporary networks with the Internet. A diversified network connects computers and other devices to different operating systems and/or protocols. For instance, a complex network would connect local Microsoft Windows and Linux-based personal computers to Apple Macintosh computers. As wireless communication networks continue to evolve, they are becoming more complex and integrated, combining different wireless and wired networks into what is known as multivariate networks, where each network has its unique protocols and characteristics. While identical sensor networks have te same nodes, multifaceted sensor networks have multiple types of nodes. Device-to-device and multifaceted networks are essential to the success of 5G networks. Many networks have fixed location-based stations or small clls, each with a different range and type of connection with the mobile network operator. All computers have an identical or similar network. In this study, we evaluated five networks, named Network 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 (Mbps) allowed Bandwidth (Mbps), and Utilization (%). After the evaluation, we found that the VIKOR method is the most ideal solution for short-distance and negative-best solutions, and the solution with the longest distance from the solution determines, but the comparison of these distances does not consider the importance. As a result, Network 1 ranked first, whereas Network 3 ranked the lowest.
