Analyzing the Effect of Soft Handover on Handover Performance Evaluation Metrics Under Load Condition.

With increasing popularity of wireless local area network (WLAN) and emerging real-time applications, seamless mobility has become one of the primary concerns. Hence, the choice of a proper handover algorithm is of utmost importance. Various performance evaluation metrics for handover algorithms have been proposed in this regard. We argue that in a multiple access point (AP) scenario, the load on ...
