In cognitive radio networks, secondary transmitters should cease its transmission immediately on detecting of primary transmission in the spectrum they are accessing. Then they should exploit another idle spectrums and handoff to the newly found idle spectrums, which is called spectrum rendezvous. With regards to spectrum rendezvous, most of related work presume the existence of dedicated common control channel used by secondary users for exchanging the information of idle spectrums. However, this presumption is not feasible in real world cognitive radio scenario. Therefore we address a blind spectrum rendezvous scheme with no need of separate control channel. Furthermore we consider maintaining one or more extra spectrums (channels) to expedite the spectrum rendezvous. Our scheme lets secondary users maintain extra spectrums by exchanging the spectrum information periodically during normal communications. The one of the extra spectrums are regarded as a candidate spectrum that the users can handoff to on detecting the primary transmission. We evaluate that our blind scheme can help to reduce the rendezvous delay in a real world cognitive radio environments with USRPs.

The heterogeneous wireless access networks has been envisioned to characterize the future wireless networks. In such environments, TCP(Transmission Control Protocol) has to experience poor end-to-end performance because bandwidth and link delay change suddenly when a mobile node moves over different types of wireless networks, which is called vertical handoff. In this paper, we propose a new TCP which maintains each set of congestion control variables, which we call TCP context, for each type of wireless network. The proposed TCP can switch the TCP context against vertical handoff in order to adjust quickly to a newly arrived network. In simulations, the proposed TCP has higher throughput than TCP SACK(Selective Acknowledgment Options) due to its great features to vertical handoff situations.

For an efficient software download in cellular CDMA systems, session admission control based on area (SACA) is presented. In the SACA scheme, the base station only allows mobile terminal to start session when the mobile locates near the base station of a cell. A mobile that is located near cell center can request software download session, but the mobile that is far away from the center can request session only after arriving near the cell center. Session duration time follows exponential and Pareto distribution. Performance is analyzed in terms of handoff rate, mean channel holding time, session blocking probability and handoff forced termination probability. As analysis results, handoff rate between cells in the proposed scheme is reduced to 30 ~ 250 % compared to conventional scheme, according to traffic characteristics such as terminal speed, session duration time and the size of the allowable zone area in a cell for the start of the session. And new session blocking probability slightly decreases to 5 ~ 20 %, but handoff session forced termination probability drastically decreases to 35 ~ 220 %.

This paper proposes a call admission control(CAC) method for wireless networks, which is based on the upper bound of a possibility distribution of handoff calls dropping rates. The possibility distribution is estimated in a fuzzy inference and a learning algorithm in neural network. The learning algorithm is considered for tuning the membership functions(then parts)of fuzzy rules for the inference. The fuzzy inference method is based on a weighted average of fuzzy sets. The proposed method can avoid estimating excessively large handoff calls dropping rates, and makes possibile self-compensation in real time for the case where the estimated values are smaller than real values. So this method makes secure CAC, thereby guaranteeing the allowed CDR. From simulation studies we show that the estimation performance for the upper bound of call dropping rate is good, and then handoff call dropping rates in CAC are able to be sustained below user's desired value.

H.323 proposes to use Mobile IP and H.323 ad hoc conference signaling to provide Handoff function to a mobile terminal. But H.323 ad hoc conference signaling has a drawback. It requires an H.323 endpoint to do a complex conference signaling which makes inter-operability between H.323 endpoints difficult and takes the longer signaling time. In this paper, we propose an Handoff signaling using H.323 rerouting(Third party initiated Pause and Rerouting). H.323 rerouting signaling only requires an H.323 endpoint to do H.323 basic signaling in reestablishing media channel, and makes inter-operability more easier and provides the faster Handoff. To do this, our H.323 GK has derived H.245 control channel using tunneling for all H.323 calls including the fast connect calls which enable endpoints communicate each other if they don\`t have H.245 control channel. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed signaling, we have conducted an experiment that compares a call transfer signaling using H.323 rerouting with ad hoc conference signaling in inter-operability and signaling delay. The results of our experiment shows that the call transfer signaling can inter-operate with four H.323 endpoints among five H.323 endpoints of other vendors and reduces the signaling delay average 1.4 sec.

The channel allocation strategy is very important in wireless multimedia networks since the mobility of users needs to be considered in addition to diversity of QoS requirements of multimedia traffic. A existing strategy to decrease the probability of handoff failure is guard channel method, which reserves channels at each base station for handoff calls. In this paper, we propose an efficient channel allocation strategy based on the prioritization of handoff calls used in the guard channel method. In the Proposed strategy guard channels are shared between non-real time and real time handoff calls. To decrease the probability of handoff failure, (when resources become scarce), the Call Admission Control takes some resources away from the active calls. The simulation results demonstrate that the Proposed strategy Provides higher channel utilization and lower probability of handoff failure than those of existing strategies.

This paper proposes a new agent based mechanism called a Multicast Handoff Agent (MHA) to reduce handoff latency for IP multicast. The MHA acts as a proxy for an Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) of Mobile Nodes (MNs) at each Base Station (BS) and keeps information for members of multicast groups in a cell. When an MN moves to a next cell, the MHA immediately sends unsolicited reports without waiting for the IGMP query. The mechanism was evaluated through simulation and analysis and compared with the IGMPv2 for micro-mobility and the IGMP traffic. Simulation results show that handoff latency for micro-mobility can be largely reduced and the IGMP control traffic on the wireless links during the duration of membership can be eliminated. Thus, this mechanism is superior to the existing mechanism in both micro-mobility and battery duration, as the need not to reply to a query conserves battery power.

In the WCDMA mobile multimedia communication system, the adaptive array antenna IS adopted to improve the performance of the system by reducing inter-user interference using antenna beam control. Usually, the interference resulted from the higher data rate users is much more significant to the lower data rate users than the other way around, so the overall performance can be enhanced by reducing the interference from higher data rate users. In order to maximize the efficiency of adaptive antenna operation, an optimal call admission control, especially during handoff, adaptive to the data rates is a critical problem. In this paper, We propose a call admission control algorithm based on the Soft QoS concept for the efficient processing of the handoff of higher data rate calls, and an adaptive handoff control mechanism according to the data rates. The proposed algorithm has been evaluated by computer simulation that it accommodates high data rate users among many lower data rate users much better, and the average call blocking probability for lower rate users becomes much lower than the conventional call admission control algorithm.

In this paper, we propose bandwidth management scheme to efficiently guarantee the QoS of various services on ATM based IMT-2000 networks. The proposed bandwidth management scheme consists of the call admission control to reduce a handoff failure probability and the scheduling scheme to efficiently allocate a time slot based on the QoS requirements in wireless links. The simulation results show that the proposed bandwidth scheme has better performance than the previous works in terms of the handoff failure probability and packet delay time.
