within an IEEE 802.11 wireless local area network (WLAN) cell. The method uses two
thresholds which are calculated by the mobile terminal (MT) as it enters the WLAN cell. The
predicted traveling distance is compared against these thresholds to make a handover
decision in order to minimize the probability of handover failures or unnecessary handovers
from a cellular network to a WLAN. Our analysis shows that the proposed method …
