| The agent technology will have a role increasingly important in the telecommunications due to their properties, in particular, of autonomy, intelligence and/or mobility. The WLAN will also play an increasingly important role in offering an omnipresent access to the network, thus supporting the mobility of the user. In this context, we have identified some number of applicability of the agents in the WLAN. Then we have described an example of agents use by taking as scenario of reference a user of the 4th generation of mobile having at his disposal several technologies of wireless access. This user wants to be able to be connected in the best way, anywhere, any time and with any access network. Agent technology, in this case, is used to adapt the horizontal and/or vertical handover to the user's needs. |
