Considering the problem of agents’ network selection for Human-to-Human(H2H) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) traffic in heterogeneous wireless networks, an agents’ network selection scheme based on the characteristic of traffic is designed. Game theory is adopted to solve the problem of network selection to satisfy difference in traffic’s Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. The existence and feasibility of the Nash Equilibrium (NE) of the proposed game are also analyzed. Then, a Distributed Network-Channe Selection Algorithm based on Learning Automata (DNCSALA) is presented to obtain the NE of the proposed game. In simulations, the proposed algorithm can achieve a near optimal performance compared to the exhaustive search, satisfy the QoS requirements of different types of traffic, and improves the efficiency of network resources.
