Signal Strength-Based Approach for 3G/WLAN Handover on Nokia N900 Devices
نویسندگان
چکیده
Automatic handover between 3G and WLAN networks is typically done when the current network link is going down. In this paper, we explore another possibility: automatic handover to the network which has highest signal level, to ensure steadier connection and faster download speeds. The proposed solution for Nokia N900 device is modular and extensible. Routines to choose the network to connect to can be altered, and it is possible to support another network types besides 3G and WLAN.

Aerial Localization with Smartphone
This paper presents how we applied a smartphone for aerial localization. We have developed a fully functional aerial localization system HAWK and reported preliminary results in a related paper. In this paper, we focus on the technical details of using a smartphone Nokia N900 as a wireless sniffer on a mini helicopter and comparing the performance of three localization approaches for wireless d...
متن کاملA Study on Minimization of 2G/3G Handover Failure
One of the most interesting 3G networks feature is their integration with the 2G networks. It provides seamless End to-End services. Current widely deployed 2G and 3G networks provide enabling interoperability. These mechanisms include Inter RAT idle mode reselection. Inter RAT dedicated mode reselection is used for PS (Packet Switching) services. The WLAN coverage on one hand provides an extra...
متن کاملBattery-Bandwidth Based Handover Framework for 3G/WLAN Using Android Handheld Devices
In a heterogeneous network environment, transparent horizontal and vertical handover is a much desired feature. Effective handover solution would allow mobile device users to stay steadily connected, seamlessly switching between different access networks. If it is consistently connected to networks which offers best Quality of Service (QoS) then that would dramatically improve user experience. ...

متن کاملExtending GTP Protocol to Support Seamless Handover between UMTS and WLAN Access Network
Much of interest has been involved in integrating UMTS and WLAN networks in order to take full advantage of the two. In such an integrated network, UMTS subscribers can access to UMTS services through 3G or WLAN access networks. This is highly desirable because network operators will use WLAN hotspots to increase network coverage, while offering subscribers with high-speed connections to 3G net...
