An important characteristic of next generation wireless networks is the compositeness of the communication model. The combination of different wireless technologies and architectures can be used for providing a large variety of multimedia services for users to access from “any place and any time.” In such a heterogeneous environment, handover management is the essential issue that supports seamless mobility for users. Handover management, as one of the components of mobility management, controls the change of the mobile terminal’s point of attachment (PoA) during active communications. Handover management includes mobility scenarios, metrics, decision algorithms, and procedures. Major ...
