Abstract

Mobile WiMAX is a rapidly growing broadband access technology based on IEEE 802.16 suite of standards. Supporting fast and seamless handover is a key requirement for the implementation of an efficient mobility framework in WiMAX systems. The IEEE 802.16 standard defines only the handover management framework but does not specify any specific handover techniques. Thus, devising efficient handover techniques and mechanism are of utmost importance. This paper proposes and devises an efficient forced handover technique in mobile WiMAX to improve performance and capacity handling of base station.
