Strategies for Fast Scanning and Handovers in WiMax/802.16
Overview In WiMax/IEEE 802.16 with mobility support, scanning for an available channel by a mobile station, at start up or when about to perform a handover must be done promptly. The paper propose strategies that a mobile station can use to reduce the time required for scanning operations while attempting to establish network connectivity or perform a handover between neighboring base stations. An area of WiMax coverage is modeled and simulated using real-world mobility trace data and show that there are strategies that reduce the time required for scanning operations significantly.
