Abstract

One of the challenges of the communication industry today is wireless data transfer with great speed. If the traditional Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is the leader for indoor usage (coverage and mobility on short distance), the mobile WiMAX is planned to be the adequate solution for the outdoor (when the user exist the hotspots coverage area). In this paper we propose a solution, based on mobile agents usage, to speed-up the handover process in mobile WiMAX networks. Also, we show that the presence of mobile agents could be exploited to tune the handover process, based on past accomplished handoffs.
