Abstract
The IEEE802.21 protocol has provided a mechanism to perform a seamless handover within heterogeneous networks guaranteeing a higher level of mobility. In this paper, we discuss different characteristics and challenges facing 4G mobility. We propose an efficient user zoning handover technique based on the IEEE802.21 protocol. The proposed approach connects users to a preset network upon entering a zone. The process is guided by the MIIS server.
