Performance of WiMAX Networks Using Horizontal Handover with Channel Reservation Mechanism (original) (raw)

2008

Abstract

Next generation networks will be characterized by variable and high data rates, QoS, and seamless mobility, within a network and between heterogeneous networks with different technologies and service providers. In this paper, we consider a model of mobility for WiMAX network users introducing horizontal handover mechanism with channel reservation. We take into account several approaches in order to carry out the reservation. We evaluate the performance of the proposed model. The results show, by means of simulation, that channel reservation mechanism improves horizontal handover without reducing the performance of the system.
