Throughput consideration for location-aware handoff in mobile data networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Location aware handoff algorithms have a much better performance than the traditional algorithms in terms of the number of handoffs and the handoff delay (crossover point). As they do not pay attention to the received signal strength (RSS), it is not clear if they also maintain the best throughput in the case of wireless data networks. In this paper, we evaluate the tradeoffs between the unnecessary handoffs, handoff delay and system throughput. The results indicate that the throughput with location-aware handoff algorithms is also higher than the throughput in the case of using traditional RSS-based algorithms.
