This article presents a distance and angle similarity measure. The integrated similarity measure takes the strengths of both the distance and direction of measured documents into account. This article analyzes the features of the similarity measure by comparing it with the traditional distance-based similarity measure and the cosine measure, providing the iso-similarity contour, investigating t...

General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a complex data network which upgrades current second generation GSM networks, offering true high-speed internet (IP) and network connectivity over existing GSM cellular networks. The increasing population of mobile users leads to congestion problems in these systems, and motivates the development of more efficient management schemes. This project deals wit...

A mobile station (MS) undergoes handoff when it travels out of the coverage area of its current access point (AP) and tries to associate with another AP. In this paper we propose a method using GPS (Global Positioning System) to minimize the number of APs to be scanned by the MS during each handoff procedure. The entire geographical area is considered as a two dimensional plane divided into hex...
