Analysis of handover performance in a mobile WiMAX network: article / Nurulhuda Abd Manan

Mobile WiMAX is a fast growing broadband access technology that enables low-cost mobile Internet application. Data, voice and video streaming are the main application of the mobile WMAX and the demand from the user is growing every day. The handover performance in mobile network is the most important factor that can influence the quality of Service (QoS). The parameter such as throughput and packet delay are the main factors which affect the WiMAX network performance. This paper study the handover performance in term of throughput and packet delay for three different applications which are Voice over IP (VoIP), video conferencing and web browsing (HTTP).
