Abstract :
The wireless local area network (WLAN) is becoming the new era of wireless networking technology for the user with a strong desire for new technology. The main issue is to integrate WLAN with WAN, and handover management between the subnets of the network should be resolved. Handover within the link layer and the network layer should be smooth and seamless. There are many alternative ways and techniques to solve this problem, such as developing a new network protocol, designing a new physical layer, enhancing or creating new algorithms. We try to figure out a proposal to solve this problem. The enhancement or modified protocol has to be developed into a new model then tested in a real network situation. In actual networking, a problem may occur and that problem must be evaluated, and the enhancement and all the modified factors investigated. Performance of handover within a WLAN is important in order to get good service for VoIP, Internet gaming and other Internet services.
