Abstract
Handover is the process of dissociating a mobile terminal from one channel and associating it with other channel in the network. The number of mobile users is increasing day by day; hence, it is becoming necessary to provide them good network facilities. In WLAN, when a mobile user moves from one place to another, the process of handover must be performed, so as to avoid the interruption or degradation in the service provided to the user. IEEE 802.11 standard defines a handover method which is used in traditional networks, which takes few seconds to establish. But in some delay-sensitive applications such as real-time video streaming, VOIP this handover method is inadequate. In this paper, we have proposed two handover methods using (SDWN) software-defined wireless networking approach, and comparison is made to find the efficient handover algorithm. Handover implementation is done on Wi-Fi access point in WLAN along with use of SDN technology. SDN emulator mininet-wifi is used for performing the experiments. Simulation results exhibit the successful handover with improved throughput and QoS.
