Currently, IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN (WLAN) is rising as the most popular means for the broadband wireless access network. In this thesis, we propose a QoS(Quality of Service)-Oriented mechanism using handshaking method of scanning phase in IEEE 802.11 handoff. In conventional process for handoff, the major criterion to select the best AP(Access Point) among candidates is normally based on the RSS(Received Signal Strength), which does not always make the selected network guarantee the maximum achievable performance. Even though the link quality with a neighboring AP is excellent, the AP may not be a good candidate to handoff to simply because MAC(Medium Access Control) protocol of IEEE 802.11 standard is contention-based such as CSMA/CA. Therefore, if we apply network level information to AP selection criteria, we can achieve better handoff efficiency rather than before. The analysis and simulation results applied to our new mechanism show clearly better performance than AP selection based on traditional handoff method.

In this paper, the new scheme using a Combined Cache(CC) that combing the Paging and Routing Cache(PRC) and an alternative handoff method according to the type of data transmission for achieving the efficient realtime communication. The PRC and quasi-soft handoff method reduce the path duplication. But they increase the network traffic load because of the handoff state packet of Mobile Host(MH). Moreover the use the same handoff method without differentiating the type of transmission data. Those problems are solved by operating U with a semi-soft handoff method for realtime data transmission and with a hard handoff method for non-realtime data transmission. As a result or simulation a better performance is obtained because of the reduction of the number of control packet in case that the number of cells are below 20. And the packet arrival time and loss of packet decreased significantly for realtime data transmission.

In CDMA system, the number of mobile stations which can be served simultaneously in a base station is limited by the amount of total interference received. Considering the facts, the call admission control method using the effective bandwidth concept is employed in this paper. The bandwidth for a new call and a handoff call is allocated by considering the number of mobile station being served and dynamically assigned by taking account of the blocking rate of new calls and the dropping rate of handoff calls. Also, there is reserved resource for handoff call. We analyze the performance of system according to reserved resource by a simulation study. The more a resource reserved, the less it is the dropping rate of handoff.

Wireless multimedia networks require channel allocation strategies for various multimedia traffic since the mobility of users needs to be considered in addition to diversity of QoS requirements of multimedia traffic. In this paper, we propose an Efficient Channel Allocation strategy, based on prioritization of handoff calls used in Guard channel method. Gurad channels can be shared between non real time calls and real time handoff calls. To decrease the probability of handoff failure, when resources become scarce, the Call Admission Control can take some resources away from the active calls. It is shown through extensive simulations that the proposed strategy provides higher channel utilization and lower probability of handoff failure than existing strategies.

In a CDMA system, minimizing handoff calls is an important factor for user satisfaction. In this paper, we divide the cell area into two regions: normal region and soft handoff region. And we show that differentiating the guard channel numbers in those two regions make handoff calls minimized. We develop an SRN based cell model consists of normal and soft handoff region and analyze the performance of the model.

A mobile terminal will expect a number of handoffs within its call duration. In the event of a mobile call, when a mobile node moves from one cell to another, it should connect to another access point within its range. In case there is a lack of support of its own network, it must changeover to another base station. In the event of moving on to another network, quality of service parameters need to be considered. In our study we have used the Markov decision process approach for a seamless handoff as it gives the optimum results for selecting a network when compared to other multiple attribute decision making processes. We have used the network cost function for selecting the network for handoff and the connection reward function, which is based on the values of the quality of service parameters. We have also examined the constant bit rate and transmission control protocol packet delivery ratio. We used the policy iteration algorithm for determining the optimal policy. Our enhanced handoff algorithm outperforms other previous multiple attribute decision making methods.

In this study, the system level network simulation is considered with adaptive array antenna in CDMA mobile communication system. A network simulation framework is implemented based on IS-95A/B system to consider dynamic handoff, system level network behavior, and deploying strategy into the overall CDMA mobile communication network under adaptive array algorithm. Its simulation model, such as vector channel model, adaptive beam forming antenna model, handoff model, and power control model, are described in detail with simulation block. In order to maximize SINR of received signal at antenna, maximin algorithm is particularly considered, and it is computed at each simulation snap shot with SINR based power control and handoff algorithm. Graphic user interface in this system level network simulator is also implemented to define the simulation environments and to represent simulation results on real mapping system. This paper also shows some features of simulation framework and simulation results.

Channel management is critical in designing a cellular mobile system that offers high capacity and high quality. In this paper, an integrated channel management scheme is proposed, which consists of a dynamic channel allocation scheme and an admission control scheme. The dynamic channel allocation scheme allocates a call request the channel which minimizes the impact on its interfering cell, and consists of two types of channel allocation strategies : nominal channel allocation strategy and non-nominal channel allocation strategy. The admission control scheme named the variable cutoff priority scheme reserves some frequency channels for handoff cells in each cell the number of which varies according to the blocking probability of handoff class in that cell. Computationl tests are performed to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme in terms of overall blocking probability, defined by the weighted value of the blocking probabilities of new calls and handoff calls. The results show that the proposed scheme yields better performance than other compared schemes.

In this paper, we propose a new handoff scheme which is efficient in hybrid mobile data network consists of cellular mobile network and wireless LAN. In this scheme, handoff is delayed until connections with wireless LAN and data rates are smoothly decreased according to becon signal strength of wireless LAN. By doing so, data transfer capacity is increased and required data buffer in handoff for mobile and network system can be decreased. We analyze new handoff scheme by computer simulation. The results show that 180Mbytes data can be transferred additionally in handoff processing and required buffer size can be decreased 1/2 with the conditions that mobile speed is 1Km/hr and the data rate of a original call is 2,048Kbps.

Most handoff control schemes try to offer the negotiated QoS by resource reservation for handoff calls. However, it is very difficult to determine the optimal amount of reservation resource for the handoff calls, and sometimes a considerable waste of network resource may be caused. In order to solve this problem, we propose a 2-level resource reservation and call admission control scheme. In our scheme, handoffs are classified into two types (primary and secondary) based on how often they occur and are dealt with in different ways. Simulation results show that our scheme may allow more efficient utilization of network resource without degrading QoS comparing with the existing with legacy handoff control scheme.
