Handoff between LTE-LTE networks using Qual net simulator

Abstract

The vast expansion of technology in the field of wireless networks, upcoming users can acquire maximum data even under mobility. To experience such type of environment, users need to stay in a network with highly improved technologies under seamless mobility with better handoff. By considering this, handoff between the homogeneous wireless networks is introduced. In order to make a handoff between the mobile nodes flag mobility concept is used between the homogeneous networks. In this paper, a scenario is designed for homogeneous handoff between 4G- LTE (Long Term Evolution) networks with flag mobility using QualNet 8.0 network simulator. The handoff performance is estimated by analyzing QoS (Quality of Service) parameters such as throughput, jitter and average end to end delay.
