Seamless Inter-System handover between WiMax-3G using MIH

Abstract

Heterogeneous networks are concrete its way towards the everywhere wireless access abilities which provide the automatic
handovers for any moving devices in the heterogeneous networks combining different access technologies. In this paper, intend to present a
possible Mobile WIMAX3G Network Interworking architecture based on the 3G standards and propose the seamless inter system
handover scheme which enables the service continuity with low handover latency and packet loss. This approach of enabling handover
feature is purely based on the IEEE 802.16e Mobile WiMAX & 3G Standards.
