Abstract
A major consideration for mobile WiMAX is Seamless Handover. Cellular-based
standards have the advantage of many years experience in handover for voice
calls, while for broadband mobility in itself is no mean feat, and handover is still a
challenge. IEEE 802.16e (Mobile WiMAX) is a wireless metropolitan area network
standard with high transmission speed and great coverage.
This work will address the handover process; an important issue of Mobile WiMAX
system. This thesis considers the importance to have the correct handover
initiation process. By using a predictive algorithm, in hands of the threshold that
triggers the handover process based on RSSI.
We study in this thesis the intracellular and intercellular handover process in
Mobile WiMAX system. We focus in particular on the impact of use a predictive
trigger algorithm in order to ensure a success handover process.
We demonstrate that using a predictive algorithm offers a significantly advantage
over the traditional algorithm of handover process.
