Much of the literature have mainly investigated the seamlessness and the effects of Vertical Handoffs (VHs), in addition to the design of policy-based Radio Resource Management (RRM) models that cater for their unique characteristics. However, VHs can be viewed as a powerful RRM tool. A service provider may force users to handoff to other networks in a coverage overlay to relieve congestion or balance the load. In this paper, we present a novel multi-class, subadaptation module for forced vertical handoffs. We discuss added arguments required by the multi-class setting, and show the flexibility of our model through its capability to meet different objectives for different service providers.
