Emergence of various radio access networks enables users to communicate with each other
anytime and anywhere. Handover management strategy directly influences the user's …

Roaming across heterogeneous wireless networks poses a challenging issue in mobility
management such as seamless and efficient handover to reduce end-user's service …

Next generation wireless networks are envisaged to be an integration of different wireless
networks and demand the ability of users to move from one network domain to another …

Cross layer handover schemes are expected to provide seamless services to users on the
move. To achieve this goal, a link layer must timely trigger handover protocols of upper …

Next-generation wireless networks should be able to coordinate and integrate different
communication systems. It has been a challenging problem to support a seamless handover …

In a mobile network, a timely and accurate handover decision is important to provide
seamless services while efficiently using the system resources. In this paper, we propose a …

The co-existence of heterogeneous access technologies with largely different characteristics
results in handoff asymmetry. As the convergence of dissimilar networks has been …

The process, handover was introduced to facilitate users' mobility and quality of service to
the users in wireless networks. Forced termination of a continuing call, which is undesirable …

To better evaluate handover decision algorithms, an analytical model which considers
dynamic network conditions and mobile user's requirements is proposed. In this model …

Handover in mobile networks considers Quality of Service (QoS) parameters such as signal
strength, signal to interference noise ratio (SINR), bit error rate (BER) etc. for its initiation …
