BROAD AREA OF RESEARCH( Wireless Communication )

Growing consumer demand for access to communicate services anywhere and anytime.

Even 2G, 3G wireless system has been very successful, Users always demand to make phone calls while travelling.

4G wireless system will provide significantly higher data rates, variety of services, applications.

However the challenge for Next Generation Wireless Network (NWGN) is ensuring end-to-end connectivity.

Hence there is need for efficient vertical handoff mechanism for global access of multiple networks.

Handoff has significant importance among industry and academic researchers.

INTRODUCTION

Wireless technologies such as UMTS, WLAN, WiMAX, etc. were developed with different standards and these technologies offer variety of services.

One of the forthcoming challenge in network management is to establish connection between end to end heterogeneous wireless networks.

If the serving and target base station during Handover are of different wireless technologies (WLAN-WiMax) , then we are in need of Vertical handoff.

OBJECTIVE

To provide Always Best Connected (ABC) concept in heterogeneous network by using vertical handover (IEEE 802.21) where handover is done between different networks (UMTS, WLAN, WiMAX) based on different criteria like Received Signal Strength (RSS) and Quality of Service (QoS).

HANDOFF MECHANISM

Handoff is the mechanism that transfers an ongoing call from one cell to another as a user moves through the coverage area of a cellular system.

Handoff must be:

Performed quickly

Performed infrequently

Imperceptible to users

Performed successfully

A comprehensive survey of the VHD algorithms designed to satisfy these requirements. To offer a systematic comparison, we categorize the algorithms into four groups based on the main handover decision criterion used.1.RSS based VHD algorithms 2. Bandwidth based VHD Algorithms3. Cost based VHD Algorithms 4. Combination algorithms

EXISTING METHODS

1. Relative Signal Strength (RSS)

2. RSS with Threshold

3. Bandwidth based Algorithm

4. Cost based Algorithm

14

RELATIVE SIGNAL STRENGTH(RSS) The performance of the handoff algorithm is based on Relative

Signal Strength (RSS) metrics. In which the signal strength of neighbouring Base Stations are compared and handoff is enabled.

Drawbacks:

Too many unnecessary Handoffs.Call drops occur frequently.Ping-Pong Effect

15

RSS WITH THRESHOLD

Relative signal strength with threshold introduces a threshold value to overcome the Ping-Pong effect. The handoff is initiated if existing BS RSS is lower than the threshold value and the new BS RSS is stronger than the threshold value.

Drawbacks:

The mobile will delay the handoff until the current signal will crosses the threshold.

Call drops occur due to time delay.

16

BANDWIDTH BASED ALGORITHM

Bandwidth based VHD algorithms consider available bandwidth for a mobile terminal or traffic demand as the main criterion.

Drawbacks:

Difficulty in acquiring available bandwidth information.

Reduced reliability because of the changing available bandwidth.

17

COST BASED ALGORITHM

Cost function based VHD algorithms combine metrics such as the security, available bandwidth, monetary costs, power consumption, etc. in a cost function so as to make a handover decision.

Drawbacks:

Missing detailed information such as normalization method and weights assignment to make the algorithm realistic

PROBLEM DEFINITION

Wireless technology provides different alternatives for its Users that vary in terms of coverage, bandwidth, cost, Security and so on based on implementation and service.

Based on available parameters we have proposed a Fuzzy based Vertical Handover which considerably reduces the number of unwanted Handoff without changing the QoS.

SINR Parameter has been included which provide user’s higher overall throughput than RSS based handovers since the available throughput is directly dependent on the SINR and this algorithm results in a balanced load between the WLAN and the WiMax networks. Hence QoS is Maintained as Constant.

20

PROPOSED SYSTEM

Vertical handoff algorithm is used which checks “Fuzzy vertical handoff decision (FVHD)” value. By Observing FVHD Value unnecessary Handoff decisions can be drastically reduced.

21

FUZZY-LOGIC

Fuzzy logic acts as Multiple Attribute Decision Making (MADM) method is not only to evaluate and combine many parameters at the same time but also to deal with some imprecise information.
