Abstract

Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) based on the IEEE 802.11 standard have become more and more popular in the last few years. In such networks, a handover has to be performed when moving from one cell to another. When considering small-scale scenarios like an office building, these handovers can be performed on the ISO/OSI layer two solely. However, the size of one subnet is rather restricted. Therefore, the handover has to be lifted to the network layer as well. The performance of this network layer handover will be shown in this paper.
