In tactical communication systems, WLANs are very popular options due to their high data rate. Motivated by the work of [1], we investigate performance of newly developed signal strength ratio (SSR) based handoff algorithms in tactical communication systems using WLANs. We obtain better performance in terms of number of handoff, packet loss rate and throughput for SSR based handoff algorithms. Performance of average received signal strength based handoff algorithms has also been investigated for tactical WLAN systems.
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.
