ABSTRACT

A new handoff management scheme is proposed in this paper to reduce call dropping probability for handoff requests without significant increase in call blocking probability for new calls originated under the base station. The proposed approach provides efficient bandwidth utilization. Two sets of users are used in the proposed approach. The call requests are prioritized depending on several constraints. The call patterns under a base station have been analyzed over a period of time. Three types of databases are used to store and predict the requirement of channel reservation. The performance of the system is analyzed through experimental results.
