Nowadays, mobile users are equipped with multi-mode terminals allowing them to connect to different radio access technologies like WLAN, 3G (HSPA and HSPA+), and Long term evolution (LTE) each at a time. In this context, the challenge of the next-generation networks is to achieve the Always Best Connected (ABC) concept. To this end, solving the problem of selecting the most suitable radio access technology (RAT) from the list of available RAT is at the heart of the next-generation systems. The decision process is called access network selection and it depends on several parameters, such as quality of service, mobility, cost of each RAT, energy consumption, battery life, etc. Several methods and approaches have been proposed to solve the network selection problem with the fundamental objective which is to offer the best QoS to the users and to maximize the usability of the networks without affecting the users’ experience. In this paper, we propose an adaptive KNN (K nearest neighbour) based algorithm to solve the network selection problem, the proposed solution has a low computation complexity with a high level of veracity is compared with the well-known MADM methods.
