Impact of Relay Stations Implementation on the Handover in WiMAX
نویسنده
چکیده
Mobile WiMAX networks are generally based on the 802.16e standard. This version of standard supports a number of handover types and allows full mobility of users. However, the relay stations are not considered in this standard version. Relay stations are introduced in the originating 802.16j standard version. This paper deals with the impact of relay stations implementation from the handover point of view. The influences of fixed relay stations amount on the number of handover procedure initializations and on the diversity set size are investigated.

Handover Behaviour of Transparent Relay in WiMAX Networks
The knowledge on handover behaviour in WiMAX network is essential for network management and planning in order to achieve optimum system throughput. In this paper we have analysed the handover behaviour of transparent relay in several configurations for the IEEE 802.16j Mobile Multihop Relay (MMR) WiMAX network. The simulation was performed using NCTUns tool and adopted the hard handover mechan...
متن کاملInter-Domain Handover in WiMAX Networks Using Optimized Fast Mobile IPv6
The most attractive feature of WiMAX is arguable the mobility capability that IEEE 802.16e (IEEE, 2004) standard adds to the previous standard. With mobility support, handover has become one of the most important factors that impact the performance of IEEE 802.16e system. Handover is the process of maintaining active sessions of a mobile station when it migrates from current base station to tar...
متن کاملEnergy-efficient network selection with mobility pattern awareness in an integrated WiMAX and WiFi network
To provide wireless Internet access, WiFi networks have been deployed in many regions such as buildings and campuses. However, WiFi networks are still insufficient to support ubiquitous wireless service due to their narrow coverage. One possibility to resolve this deficiency is to integrate WiFi networks with the wide-range WiMAX networks. Under such an integrated WiMAX and WiFi network, how to...
متن کاملUsing Forced Handover as Load Balancing Technique in IEEE 802.16e/WiMAX Networks to Ensure QoS Guarantees
Wireless networks perform handover to enable MS (Mobile Stations) to move from one BS (Base Station) to other BS during a session and without hiccups. Handovers are performed for many reasons such as, MS movement, varying radio conditions and capacity offloading to achieve negotiated service quality. Network congestion is generally observed at popular business places (like downtowns) and during...
