Abstract
While mobile users move between two cells, they have benefits of ATM in Wireless ATM (WATM) environment such as QoS based on connection-oriented services. For mobile users' seamless connections, both handoff management and location management are needed. Handoff is a capability for dynamic support on mobile users' migration in WATM systems. Location management includes a mobile tracking and locating ability. In this paper, we propose an efficient handoff algorithm. We compare the proposed scheme with existing schemes in terms of path efficiency after handoff. The comprehensive computer simulation results show that our scheme outperforms existing ones up to about 10%. Also, we analyze our scheme with simple mathematical equations to compute the required amount of buffers and the disruption time caused by handoff.
