HANDOFF SCHEMES FOR THE IEEE 802.11 WIRELESS LANs

CHINTALA, VENKATA MANOJ

Abstract Details

2007, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering : Computer Science.
Handoff in the IEEE 802.11 wireless local area networks (WLANs) occurs whenever the mobile station (MS) changes its association from one access point (AP). Previous studies have shown that the handoff schemes employed in the IEEE 802.11 networks do not meet the strict delay constraints placed by many multimedia applications. The problem is further compounded by the fact that limited coverage areas of APs employed in existing IEEE 802.11 WLANs create frequent handoffs. In this research work, four novel handoff schemes namely, FHAP (Fast Handoff by Avoiding Probe wait), APFH (Adaptive Predictive Fast Handoff), DPH (Dynamic Predictive Handoff) scheme and AP-DPH (Adaptive Preemptive Dynamic Predictive Handoff) scheme are proposed for the IEEE 802.11 WLANs to reduce handoff latency and improve the QoS of multimedia applications. The performance of all the schemes are analyzed through extensive simulations.
