Handover between Wi-Fi and WiMAX technologies using GRE tunnel

Abstract

The next era of wireless grid inclines to be heterogeneous in the composition, i.e., wireless technologies like Wi-Fi and WiMAX networks desire co-breathe, so there is a demand for the best utilization of the accessible mixed chains. This paper considers the issue of handover between Wi-Fi and WiMAX grids with seamless connectivity. For this, first, a mobile terminal that abuts both IEEE 802.11 and IEEE 802.16 technologies was designed in the simulator. The developed mobile node was then introduced in the simulation scenario to study the various metrics. Second, we present the incorporation of GRE tunnel between the home agent and base stations for doing away with latency and packet drop and thereby improving the MOS value of the interest of consumers, giving impetus to efficiency day instant and day forth. © 2019, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
