چکیده

Handoff is a critical function that enables mobile nodes to stay connected to the wireless network by switching the data connection from one WLAN to another. During handoff the communication may be degraded or interrupted due to the high packets loss. To prevent packet loss during handoff, a handoff management scheme that employs a transport protocol has been proposed. It supports multiple connections for Voice Over IP communication and makes handoff decision based on the number of frame retransmission on the MAC layer. Moreover, the handoff scheme uses the multi-scan technique that enables mobile nodes to use two WLAN interfaces for channel scanning and multi-path transmission rather than single WLAN interface. This technique introduces extra network overhead during multi-path transmission. This work optimizes the network overhead and packet loss and keeps VoIP communication at an acceptable level.

Optimization model for handoff-aware channel assignment problem for multi-radio wireless mesh networks

Optimal channel assignment (CA) in Multi-Radio Wireless Mesh Networks is an NP-Hard problem for which solutions usually leave several links interfering. Most of these solutions usually consider the overall throughput as the main optimization objective. However, other objectives have to be considered in order to provide better quality wireless connections to non stationary users. In this paper, ...

MEHROM: Micromobility support with Efficient Handoff and Route Optimization Mechanisms

The combination of Mobile IP with frequent handovers results in high handoff latencies and control overhead in the core network. Micromobility protocols like Cellular IP, Hawaii and MIPv4 Regional Registration were developed to avoid these problems, supporting local mobility within one IP domain. This paper proposes the MEHROM (Micromobility support with Efficient Handoff and Route Optimization...

Optimal Packet Loss Rate Based Vertical Handoff Algorithm for Wireless Heterogeneous Networks

The Vertical handover algorithm allows the mobile wireless device to roam freely across Wireless Local Area Network and the cellular network. The estimation of received signal strength may not always indicate the better quality of service. Hence packet loss rate is estimated to determine the occurrence of delay, jitter and contention problems and provide efficient and continuous transmission. T...
