The main issue in mobile WiMAX network is the handover delay which occurs due to excessive scanning of frequencies by the Mobile Station (MS) in order to select a Target Base Station (TBS) as well as during the actual handover from the serving Base Station (SBS) to the TBS.
Based on IEEE 802.16 WiMax is claimed as an alternative broadband rather than cable and DSL. In our thesis study we will findout the phenomenon and factors involved in WiMax handover and their effect on overall quality of service.
The purpose of this paper work is to study the basic concepts of cellular handover and the handover latency with the travelling speed of mobile station in mobile WiMAX networks.
The finalization of vertical handover in novel MCHVD depends on various factors related to the network, and failure to manage these factors can result in issues such as high latency and lack of control [810].
In hard handover scenarios in mobile WiMAX networks, a Mobile Station (MS) may experience handover disruptions and handover delays during transmission which could result in connection drops and waste of resources.
