One vision for the future generation of mobile systems beyond 3G is that of convergence of wireless systems and standards, enabling seamless access to integrated broadband services. A concept of convergence manager is raised up and being investigated, as it may offer a number of benefits both to the users, service providers and network operators. In this project we investigate the potential benefits and constraint of multi-standard convergence to a mobile user. For this purpose a scenario is developed in MLDesigner simulation tool and two wireless standards HSDPA from UMTS and HiperLAN2 was considered. An instance of a Convergence Manager is placed in mobile terminal to optimize the system performance in the multi-standard scenario. The main functionality of the Convergence Manager is to select a standard when a user-request for a generic file download service arrives. With the help of simulation means the performance of various standard selection algorithm in single-user and multi-user environment was evaluated and compared.
