Abstract :
In wireless mesh network (WMN), it is important to provide an efficient handoff scheme, due to the frequent user mobility. To address this issue, we propose a mobile agent (MA) based handoff approach, where each mesh client has a MA residing on its registered mesh router. To guarantee quality of service (QoS) and achieve differentiated priorities during the handoff, we develop a proportional threshold structured optimal effective bandwidth policy for call admission control (CAC) on the mesh router. Simulation study shows that our proposed CAC scheme can obtain satisfying tradeoff between differentiated priorities and statistical effective bandwidth in WMN handoff environment.
