Optimizing the Performance of Handoff Management in Wireless LANs

As the radio range of Access Point AP in a Wireless Local Area Network WLAN is about 35 meters, Mobile Nodes MNs have to frequently undergo a handoff process when they move beyond the radio coverage area of their associated APs. However, legacy IEEE 802.11-based standards cannot provide sufficient support...

Multi Layer Rules Based Framework for Vertical Handoff

Seamless interoperability between two dissimilar networks require handoff from one network to the other. Such handoffs are known as vertical handoffs. Vertical handoff introduces a shift in the approach to handoffs. It deals with handoffs between dissimilar networks, such as from an access point to a base station or vice...

Micro Mobile MPLS Protocol in Next Generation Wireless Access Networks

In current literature, several solutions have been proposed to support mobility in the future wireless-based networks. Although Mobile MPLS supports mobility, it is only suited to macro-mobility, and it fails to support micro-mobility efficiently. A number of micro-mobility protocols are designed for the management of intra-domain mobility. This paper proposes...

Inter-Cell Interference Management in WiMAX Downlinks by a Stackelberg Game Between BSs

A game theoretic framework is developed for effective and adaptive inter-cell interference management in the OFDMA-based WiMAX/3GPP-LTE systems. Such approach requires no fixed spectrum planning beforehand and does not affect the spectrum usage for users that are not subject to inter-cell interference. Based on the handoff mechanisms in WiMAX systems,...
