  • Abstract
    This paper introduces a novel vertical handoff method in which the number of signaling and registration processes is lowered as a result of reduced utilization of home agent and correspondent nodes while users are mobile. Throughput performance of the integrated network is improved by reducing handoff delays and packet losses. We also decrease the system energy by estimating user locations in comparison with the WLANs to decrease interface ontimes. Performance and delay results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
