Abstract

The availability of multiple wireless access technologies, together with the increasing use of realtime multimedia applications, are creating strong demand for handover performance, measured in terms of latency and losses. In addition, handover solutions must allow service providers, application providers, and other entities to implement handover policies based on a variety of operational and business requirements. The main purpose of IEEE 802.21 standard is to enable handovers between heterogeneous technologies, without service interruption, hence improving the user experience of mobile terminals. In this paper objectives and benefits of IEEE 802.21 standard implementation are described and emphasized.
