Introduction • Today’s wireless access network consist of several overlapping tiers • Provision of real time undisrupted communication to mobile users , anytime and anywhere through these heterogeneous overlay networks , is a challenge
Characteristics of the Overlay Networks • The network’s service areas are overlapped • Two network support different data rates • The signal powers received from the BSs of the different networks are incomparable • When there is a change in IP address of the MN , process may cause service disruption
Outline • Introduction • Dual-Interface Handoff Mechanisms • Performance Evaluation Of Handoff • Conclusions
Dual-Interface Handoff Mechanisms • Use two interfaces each capable of connecting to the WLAN & GPRS networks • Two different thresholds (TH1WLAN , TH2WLAN) of Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) • TH1WLAN > TH2WLAN • Only WLAN subnet is scanned and connected • TH1WLAN > SNR > TH2WLAN • The interface may be attached to GPRS • TH2WLAN < SNR
The policy Interfaces follow (1/3) TH1wlan > SNR > TH2wlan WLAN2 SNR > TH1wlan WLAN1
The policy Interfaces follow (2/3) SNR < TH2wlan SNR > TH2wlan WLAN GPRS
The policy Interfaces follow (3/3) SNR < THGPRS GPRS2 SNR > THGPRS GPRS1
Horizontal Handoff between WLANs WLAN2 SNR > TH1wlan TH1wlan > SNR > TH2wlan WLAN1
Vertical Handoff from WLAN to GPRS SNR < TH2wlan SNR > TH2wlan WLAN GPRS
Vertical Handoff from GPRS to WLAN SNR > TH2wlan WLAN GPRS
