Improving Throughput and Delay by Signaling Modification in Integrated 802.11 and 3G Heterogeneous Wireless Network (original) (raw)
2016, International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications
Current trends show that UMTS network and WLAN will co-exist and work together to support more users with higher data rate services over a wider area. However, this integration invokes many challenges such as mobility management and handoff decision making. Vertical handoff is switching process between heterogeneous wireless networks in a 3G/WLAN network. Vertical handoffs often fail due to the abrupt degrade of the WLAN signal strength. In this paper, proposed a new vertical handoff method for to decrease the number of signaling and registration processes, to examine the Special conditions such as WLAN black holes and to eliminate disconnecting effects. By estimating user locations related to WLAN position, interface on-times will be reduced which makes the power consuming of the system decreased. To indicate the efficiency of proposed approach the performance and the delay results are simulated.
