In wireless/mobile networks, users freely and frequently change their access points (APs)
while they are communicating with other users. To support the mobility of mobile nodes …

This paper presents the concept and preliminary performance evaluation of a stochastic
network discovery approach named opportunistic scanning. Therein, a station only pauses …

Cognitive Radio (CR) is a new wireless communications and networking paradigm that is
enabled by the Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology and a recent change in spectrum …

This paper presents a detailed performance evaluation of a novel stochastic network
discovery approach denoted as opportunistic scanning. Therein, a station only pauses its …

Velocity has a non-neglectable influence on the handover delay experienced by a user if the
handover is triggered on a radio-signal-measurement (RSM) based handover scheme …

A microcellular network will be a good candidate for the future broadband mobile network. It
is expected to support high-bit-rate connection for many fast mobile users if the handover is …

Fast handover management in mobile IPv6 environments has been a research subject for a
long time. Exploiting the cooperative diversity paradigm in partner-based hierarchical MIPv6 …

In standard IEEE 802.11 based systems, when the wireless client migrates away from the
radio range of the currently associated access point (AP), network applications temporarily …

Handoff scheme provides continuous and seamless transfer when the mobile node moves
around the overlay area of wireless networks. It is not practical to use the traditional …
