Abstract :
A piggy-backed profile format for a feedback-based handoff algorithm is proposed to reduce the impact of profile information on radio bandwidth. An efficient identification scheme for mobile switching centers and access points, which reduces the size of the identifiers required for the profile, is also proposed. Furthermore, the sojourn time and the feedback interval of the profile are analyzed extensively and evaluated by simulations using the OPNET Modeler/Radio package. Numerical results indicate that feedback-based handoff is a viable approach
