Abstract :
A novel feedback-based handoff scheme, which makes use of information fed back from the mobile, is presented. The proposed scheme attains fast handoff, with relatively small buffer requirements at both the base station and the mobile terminal. The signaling involved in the handoff scheme is described in detail. Simulation results obtained using the OPNET Modeler/Radio package are presented
