Abstract
This paper presents a mobility improvement handover algorithm with less scan time implementation for Mobile WiMAX. Mobile WiMAX is a wireless technology based on IEEE802.16e for broadband wireless access. Mobile WiMAX introduces the most significant new feature, mobility to support for handovers, which can be considered as a basic requirement for mobile communication system. The mandatory handoff method is Hard Handoff for Mobile WiMAX and other two optional soft handoff methods are Macro Diversity Handoff and Fast Base Station Switching Handoff method. Handover delay generates during data transmission but handover delay should be less than 50milli second for real time applications such as VoIP. The existing draft standard considers only the received signal strength (RSS) when deciding handover. The mobility improvement handover scheme that depends upon the velocity factor has been taken into consideration in this paper. The proposed scheme skips some unnecessary handover stages, reduces handover delay by adjusting the handover parameters viz. handover RSS trigger and threshold handover RSS trigger value to improve the velocity of the mobile station. The proposed scenario has been implemented using QualNet network simulator which has lead to less handover time.
