Provide a Model for Handover Technology in Wireless Networks

Abstract: Fast Handovers for the MIPv6 (FMIPv6) has been proposed to reduce the Handover latency, in the IETF. It could not find the acceptable reduction, so led to more efforts to improve it and however the creation of multiple Handover methods in the literature. A stable connection is very important in mobile services so the mobility of device would not cause any interruption in network services and thus mobility management plays a very important role. Mobile IPv6 has become a general solution for supporting mobility between different networks on the internet which a flawless connection needs to be managed properly. In order to select the appropriate method, in this paper, all the proposed methods have been classified according to the identified performance metrics. Call blocking probability, Handover blocking probability, Probability of an unnecessary handover, Duration of interruption and delay, as the most important Handover algorithm performance metrics are introduced. The AHP method will be deployed to weight the metrics in a sample topology according to the selected sound application. Then the TOPSIS method will be employed to find the appropriate Handover algorithm.
