Abstract :
In tactical communication systems, WLANs are very popular options due to their high data rate. Motivated by the work of [1], we investigate performance of newly developed signal strength ratio (SSR) based handoff algorithms in tactical communication systems using WLANs. We obtain better performance in terms of number of handoff, packet loss rate and throughput for SSR based handoff algorithms. Performance of average received signal strength based handoff algorithms has also been investigated for tactical WLAN systems.
