Hierarchical Handoff Schemes Over Wireless LAN/WAN Networks for Multimedia Applications

Overview The objective of this paper is to study the performance of handoff procedures for an integrated wireless LAN/WAN infrastructure, both qualitatively and quantitatively. The paper makes use of a proposed hierarchical mobility management scheme to evaluate the performance of a handoff procedure with a hierarchy level of one. Also, the paper proposes a design and performs the analysis for a two-level hierarchy architecture that is applicable for integrated 802.11-based WLAN/WAN scenarios. The focus of the analysis is on performance measures that are suitable for real-time multimedia applications.
