Experimental Investigation Of The Performance Of Vertical Handover Algorithms Between Wifi And Umts Networks
COMMUNICATION AND NETWORKING, PT I(2010)
摘要
In this paper, we analyze the performance of vertical handover (VHO) algorithms for seamless mobility between WiFi and UMTS networks. We focus on a no-coupling scenario, characterized by the lack of any form of cooperation between the involved players (users and network operators). In this context, we first propose a low-complexity Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI)-based algorithm, and then an improved hybrid RSSI/goodput version. We present experimental results based on the implementation of a real testbed with commercial WiFi (Guglielmo) and UMTS (Telecom Italia) deployed networks. Despite the relatively long handover times experienced in our testbed, the proposed RSSI-based VHO algorithm guarantees an effective goodput increase at the MTs. Moreover, this algorithm mitigates the ping-pong phenomenon.
