Abstract

In wireless communications, accessing the world wide information by the end user is being a challenge due to seamless mobility among different networks. In order to provide wireless access for the end user moving from one network to another network handover between the networks is very much essential. Bandwidth is the one of most important metric used for analyzing the handover. In this paper, the bandwidth based probability of handover (PHO) algorithm has been implemented for Beyond Fourth Generation (B4G) heterogeneous wireless networks. The probability of handover relies on the traffic load, bandwidth and threshold. Probability of handover analysis has been done for different configurations such as the variation of probability of handover with respect to traffic load, threshold and bandwidth. It is noticed from the results that with increase in threshold, the probability of handover is reduced for constant traffic load. It is also observed that even though network traffic load increases, the probability of handover does not vary much for the equal bandwidth network configuration.
