Efficient Method for Wimax Soft Handover in VOIP and IPTV

Abstract

Microwave access. WiMax is a new technology that gives the fast access to data even on long distances through various ways for point to point communication and also give full coverage to the wide areas for cellular type of communication. The main goal of WiMax in cellular system is to make the handovers faster and efficient so that there will be no loss of data during a handover. In this paper we will consider soft handover that uses WiMax technology under the implementation of real time applications like VOIP and IPTV. VOIP and IPTV are the protocols that are used in the wireless communication weather for the voice calls or some other transfer of data but in large amount. So these protocols always create a kind of congestion in network. We need to consider both of these protocols during a soft handover. Basically this paper is about to carry out an efficient soft handover method called beta under various conditions. This method has the capability to carry out an efficient soft handover by checking the different network conditions like distance, congestion and signaling. Then choose a target base station that is capable to carry out the handover. As WiMax is used then the handover will be fast and more efficient. It will give 90 % efficient results
