Performance Analysis of Downward Handoff Latency in a WLAN/GPRS Interworking System
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study presents the performance analysis of a new tight coupling based WLAN/GPRS interworking architecture. The effects of network traffic on downward handoff latency are investigated. The results indicate that increasing WLAN traffic increases the overall downward handoff latency more than increasing GPRS traffic. On the other hand, increasing GPRS traffic results in higher packet buffering requirements at the Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN).

An approach for seamless handoff among mobile WLAN/GPRS integrated networks
Wireless local area networks (WLAN) and General Packet Ratio Service (GPRS) networks are two of the most widely used wireless network systems. In this paper, we propose a mobility support for mobile host roaming between WLAN and GPRS networks. In addition, a handoff decision model is presented to reduce the latency of the handoff procedure. The experimental results, including throughput, packet...
متن کاملQoS oriented vertical handoff scheme for interworking of WLAN and WiMAX
A Mobile Node (MN) continuously moves in heterogeneous networks. When connections need to migrate between heterogeneous networks for performance and high-availability reasons, seamless vertical handoff is necessary first step. Everyone around the world would like to be connected seamlessly anytime anywhere through the best network. When MN changes its point of access technology handoff occurs. ...
متن کاملDesign and Analysis of a Mobility Gateway for GPRS-WLAN Integration
This paper presents the design and analysis of GPRS-WLAN Mobility Gateway (GWMG) for the integration of GPRS and wireless LANs (WLANs). The interworking between GPRS and WLANs is achieved by the GWMG that resides on the border of GPRS and WLAN systems. The design goal is to minimize the modifications in GPRS and WLANs as both systems are widely available in the market already. By deploying the ...
