Abstract :
In this paper various handoff schemes have been discussed and their performance are compared based on simulation results. Also a timer based priority handoff scheme is suggested which will work over a wide range of performance requirements. The timer value can be varied dynamically with traffic pattern which is expected to result in improvement in performance
