چکیده

Wireless local area networks (WLAN) and General Packet Ratio Service (GPRS) networks are two of the most widely used wireless network systems. In this paper, we propose a mobility support for mobile host roaming between WLAN and GPRS networks. In addition, a handoff decision model is presented to reduce the latency of the handoff procedure. The experimental results, including throughput, packet delay and handoff latency are given to show the performance of our approach. q 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

An Efficient Method of Mobile Ip Based Handoff Mechanism for Wlan-gprs Integrated Network

This paper proposes a new technique for Mobile IP (MIP) registration by WLAN host (WH) of the Internet through GPRS network. The home agent (HA) of WH resides in the Internet. The gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) provides foreign agent (FA) functionality for WH in GPRS. After successful attachment with GPRS network in roaming scenario, WH needs two mandatory passes for MIP registration with HA....
