* ABSTRACT
With the advent of smartphones and tablets, it has become a common day practice to have multiple network interfaces. With the growth of a number of wireless access technologies, it would be advised to enhance the user experience by allowing the mobile node or the network to switch between different access-technologies depending on QoS, coverage and cost effectiveness of each of those technologies instead of the user doing it manually. It would also enable true seamless mobility. IEEE, in an effort to address this demand, has come up with a novel approach: Media Independent Handover services standardized as IEEE 802.21. Different functionalities of 802.21, its services and handover procedures are explained in this paper
Introduction
A research study report by ARC Chart estimated that Heterogeneous Networks (Hetnets) would push the global mobile infrastructure market to be worth $57 Billion by 2017 [1]. Hetnets revolve around the idea of coexistence of different wireless technologies. The foremost of these wireless technologies include the cellular technologies of 3GPP, LTE and 4G, IEEE 802.16, IEEE 802.11 and IEEE 802.20
