In this paper, we propose signaling procedures amon network elements for a connection rerouting method which can reduce inter-switch handoff processing delay reduces the delay in the connection re-routing by reserving VPI/VCIs for possible inter-switch handoff calls in advance. Additionally, we mathematically analyze the signaling procedures and then suggest solutions to the relations with cluser size, network topoloty, handoff-request rete and handoff delay. With simulation, the solutions are validated. From numerical examples, we concluded taht handoff delay, one of the handoff QoSs, can be satisfied by adjusting the cluster size and network topology according to the handoff -request rate of service area. With our proposed signaling and analytic methods, we concluded that the connection rerouting method using cluster-sectoring effectively reduces the delay of inter-switch handoff processing than dynamic connection rerouting method. Our solutions are useful in guaranteeing the requested handoff delay (especially, inter-switch handoff delay) when the connection rerouting method is applied to ATM-based wireless/wired integrated network.

The handoff failure probability has to be enhanced efficiently to enhance the performance of PCS system. In this paper a new scheme called velocity adaptive handoff algorithm for reducing handoff failure probability and maintaining the carried traffic constantly in PCS systems, by assigning low handoff threshold value for high mobility calls, and assigning high handoff threshold value for low mobility calls, is presented. The performance of evaluation of this new scheme is carried out in terms of tranffic characteristics. Also velocity estimation algorithm for this new scheme is presented. According to the result, the handoff failure probability of velocity adaptive handoff algorithm is enhanced about 60%.

Purpose: This descriptive research was conducted to identify educational needs in pediatric nursing handoff training to improve students' handoff skills. Methods: Data were collected using a survey with 188 senior nursing students and 48 pediatric nursing professors and clinical nurses. The survey included items on general information as well as experiences in handoff training, necessity, training content, and items for a handoff training program in pediatric nursing. Results: Of the nursing students, 30.5% reported receiving handoff training during their clinical hours. After their handoff training, the students' confidence index was only 3.78 out of 10. Significantly, 98.3% of the respondents said that pediatric handoff training is necessary. In addition, participants reported that simulation practice (26.5%) is an appropriate educational method, and the time required for handoff training should be 8.16 hrs. Admission process was placed first as the most critical circumstance for handoff (56.8%). High demands were observed for the necessity of training content for patients with respiratory problems. Conclusion: The results of this study show the various educational needs for developing a patient safety pediatric handoff training program to promote nursing students' skills in handoff.

If the service provider provides mobile service with mobile switching centers that use different handoff message format, the soft-handoff between mobile switching centers is not available and the hard-handoff scheme is used instead. When this occurs, calls are often disconnected or there is an interruption of service. This can be very annoying to a mobile user. We propose the handoff subsystem of the ATM switch which provides the soft-handoff between wireless cells under the control of different MSCs. The proposed handoff subsystem transforms the handoff message format of the source MSC to that of the destination MSC. It also provides efficient routing scheme that distributes handoff packets to balance the traffic load.

CCFH(Candidatecasting Fast Handoff) 알고리듬은 기존의 Mobile IP에 멀티캐스팅을 결합한 고속 핸드오프의 성능을 능가하며, B/W 효율성 측면에서 역시 뛰어난 성능을 보이는 새로운 핸드오프 방법이다. 이 알고리듬은 L2 정보를 이용, L2 핸드오프가 발생하기 전 미리 멀티캐스팅하여 L3 핸드오프 지연을 타 방법에 비해 획기적으로 줄인다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 핸드오프 방법을 소개하고, 기존 MIP(Mobile IP)의 기본적인 핸드오프 방법뿐만 아니라 다른 핸드오프 방법들과의 비교 분석을 통하여 제안된 방법의 성능이 우수함을 확인한다.

In DS-CDMA cellular systems, using the same frequency channel at the adjacent cells simultaneously makes soft handoff possible. In soft handoff, mobiles use multiple radio resources for the space diversity of signal in the overlapped region. The previous traffic models of hard handoff are not applicable to the system with soft handoff due to switching radio channels in that region. The handoff rate can be calculated by the mobility of mobiles, which is a function of the size and shape of a cell, and the speed and density of the mobiles. In this paper, we propose an analytical traffic model to study the soft handoff rate. We assume that the system uses a two-way handoff scheme for practical purposes, which connects only two cells to a mobile during soft handoff. We performed a computer simulation to confirm the accuracy of the proposed soft handoff model. The simulation results show good agreement with the analytical model.

Mobile Node has to maintain communication as they move form place to place, so it doesn't guarantee Quality of Service(QoS). Fast Handoff is important to provide multimedia and real-time applications services in mobile, and it is closely related to handoff delay. Therefore, handoff delay problem is actively studied to quarantee QoS as a main issue in mobile IP research area. Next generation Mobile IPv6 resolve this problem somewhat, triangle problem for first packet and handoff delay still remain. In this paper, we suggest SNMP Information-based routing that adds keyword management method to Information-based routing in active network in order to resolve such a problem, and then suggest QoS controlled handoff based on SNMP Information-Based routing. After modeling of suggested method and existing handoff method, simulations are carried out with NS-2 for performance evaluation. The results of simulations show the some improvement on handoff delay, and therefore on QoS improvement.

CDMA를 기반으로 하는 이동통신망에서는 소프트 핸드오프를 기본적으로 제공할 수 있지만 기지국이 다수의 주파수 대역을 사용할 경우 하드 핸드오프 또한 발생된다. CDMA 환경에서 소프트 핸드오프는 양호한 서비스 품질과 통화의 연속성을 보장하며, 기지국 전체의 용량을 증대시킬 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문은 이러한 상황에서 보다 원활하고 효율적인 핸드오프 처리를 위해 핸드오프를 위한 대기 큐를 사용한 호 연결 제어 방식을 제안하고 있다. 대기 큐 사용 방식에 따라 단일 큐를 사용하는 방식과 복수 큐를 사용하는 방식으로 나누어지며, 큐잉 이론을 바탕으로 수치 해석을 통해 제안하는 호 연결 제어 방식의 성능을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 대기 큐가 없는 경우 하드 핸드오프를 가능한 한 억제하는 것이 바람직하며, 단일 대기 큐를 사용하는 경우에는 트래픽 상태에 따라 하드 핸드오프가 발생되는 방식과 소프트 핸드오프 만을 보장하는 방식을 적절히 혼용하는 방식이 바람직한 것으로 판단된다. 복수 대기 큐를 사용하는 경우에는 주어진 차단 확률을 만족하기 위해 핸드오프 호의 차단 확률과 하드 핸드오프 확률간의 적절한 Trade-Off \ulcorner필요하다.

무선 메쉬 네트워크는 기존 단일 홉의 AP를 통한 제한된 무선 서비스를 보다 넓은 영역으로 확장시킬 수 있다. 무선 메쉬 네트워크에서 확장된 서비스 영역에서 무선 사용자의 이동성 지원을 위해 핸드오프 연구는 중요한 문제로 인식되고 있다. 핸드오프 과정에서 소요되는 시간이 길어질 경우 데이터 손실 및 서비스 끊김 등과 같은 네트워크 성능 저하가 발생된다. 핸드 오프 지연시간의 증가는 주위 AP로부터 핸드오프에 필요한 정보를 획득하는 시간과 부정확한 핸드오프로 인한 잦은 핸드오프 가 주요 요인으로 작용한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 OTT (One-way Trip Time)를 이용한 거리 측정 기반의 핸드오프 예측 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안 알고리즘은 OTT의 장점을 활용하여 기존 선호세기 기반의 핸드오프 알고리즘에 비해 핸드오프에 필요한 정보를 짧은 시간에 획득할 수 있으며， 정확한 AP 선택 알고리즘을 통해 불필요한 핸드오프를 줄일 수 있다. 제안 알고리즘에 대한 모의실험을 수행하여 성능 분석을 하였으며, 그 결과 높은 핸드오프 정확도과 핸드오프 지연 및 불필요한 핸드오프 수행의 감소 이득을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this letter, we propose an adaptive hard handoff algorithm with a dynamic hysteresis value based on the received signal strength from the serving base station, for mobile cellular communication systems. A discrete-time method is presented to evaluate handoff algorithms analytically. Performance is evaluated in terms of the average number of handoffs, the probability of link degradation, and the average handoff delay. Numerical results and simulations demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms the handoff algorithm with fixed hysteresis values and the handoff algorithm using both threshold and hysteresis.
