Hand-off Method Based on Received Signal Strength in LTE and WIMAX Networks

K. Balasundaram, D. Prabakar

Abstract


Wireless systems are most important factors to get hold of faultless roaming and services connection in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks. So it is essential to have a handoff scheme with the aim of takes into account the heterogeneity of the network. In this effort we suggest a handoff scheme which takes handoff choice adaptively based on the type of network it currently resides and the one it is attempting handoff by way of through a number of predefined rules. It moreover relies on the velocity of the mobile workstation to create a conclusion of the handoff initiation received signal strength (RSS) threshold value. As a final point simulations have been complete to show the significance of taking these factors into account for handoff decisions relatively than having a permanent threshold value of handoff for dissimilar scenarios.
