Abstract :
This work describes the evaluation of handover time in different network technologies. Vertical handover becomes a need as well as a potential, which opens the door with much application. In this work, we define a scenario, which allows handover between a WIFI network and a Bluetooth network. The simulation of handover is simulated on NS, and gave satisfactory results. We are connected to the hardware establishment of the scenario on a mobile PC, which moves between a WIFI network and a Bluetooth network.
