Abstract :
Mesh WiMAX is a very good candidate for Maritime Intelligent Transport System (ITS) characterized by the long distance and multiple hops communication. In Maritime ITS, handover would be an important issue affecting the performance of the whole network. Current mobile WiMAX does not support multi-hops handover. This paper presents a novel multi-hops, soft handover solution for Mesh WiMAX network in Maritime ITS. The simulation shows that with this soft handover, network throughput has been improved significantly.
