Today, the user is interested in comparing one service with another in terms of universal, user-oriented performance parameters which apply to any end-to-end service. The QoS concept encapsulates the idea that different data streams could be treated differently by the network depending upon the service being carried. QoS features shall provide the required performance of latency, jitter and packet loss needed to support the service. In this paper we have analyzed QoS in case of WiFi/WiMAX and WiMAX / Wi-Fi handover.
As the technology is improving so are the demands of end users and their applications increasing. A wide variety of new applications are being invented daily. These applications have different demands from the underlying network protocol suite. High bandwidth internet connectivity has become a basic requirement to the success of almost all of these areas. For the following concern Wireless networks have recently received a lot of attention. The most promising issue that needs to be taken into account while considering a wireless network is Quality of service (QoS). In this paper work we have considered a handover mechanism for IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi and perform some modifications in that like firstly we increased the range of the access point and secondly increases the speed of Mobile Node (MN) and then study the effect of these changes on QoS in respective throughput delay and jitter. For the simulation purpose we have make use of wireless simulator NS-2 (Network Simulator version 2). Thus aim of this paper is to study the variations in average throughput, delay and jitter with the increased range of access point and increasing speed of mobile node with the help of NS-2 software.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
