Abstract
A properly designed handoff algorithm is essential in reducing the connection quality deterioration when a mobile node moves across the cell boundaries. Therefore, to improve communication quality, we identified three goals in our paper. The first goal is to minimize unnecessary handovers and increase communication quality by reducing misrepresentations of RSSI readings due to multipath and shadow effect with the use of additional parameters. The second goal is to control the handover decisions depending on the users' mobility by utilizing location factors as one of the input parameters in a fuzzy logic handover algorithm. The third goal is to minimize false handover alarms caused by sudden fluctuations of parameters by monitoring the trend of fuzzy logic outputs for a period of time before making handover decision. In this paper, we use RSSI, speed and distance as the input decision…
