Abstract Mobility support to change the connection from one access point (AP) to the next (i.e., handover) becomes one of the important issues in IEEE 802.11 wireless local area networks (WLANs). During handover, the channel scanning procedure, which aims to collect neighbor AP (NAP) information on all available channels, accounts for most of the delay time. To reduce the channel scanning procedure, a neighbor beacon frame transmission scheme (N-BTS) was proposed for a seamless handover. N-BTS can provide a seamless handover by removing the channel scanning procedure. However, N-BTS always requires operating overhead even if there are few mobile stations (MSs)… More >
