Channel Allocation Scheme for Handoff Control In Wireless Ad Hoc Network with Group Mobility

摘要

Because a wireless ad hoe network does not have a fixed backbone network and the mobile base station moves randomly, the conventional channel allocation scheme cannot efficiently predict group mobility and is not feasible to support a burst handoff traffic due to group mobility. In this paper, we propose an channel allocation scheme to solve this problem. Our scheme efficiently support burst handoff using guard channel and hello message in wireless ad hoc network with group mobility. We developed an analytical Markov model for the proposed scheme and evaluate our scheme in terms of new call and handoff blocking probability and channel utilization via simulation study. Simulation results show that our scheme offers better performance than the conventional schemes.
