Abstract

Channel scanning is an important aspect of seamless handovers since it is required in order to find a target point of attachment (PoA). However, channel scanning in single radio devices may cause severe service disruptions with the current PoA so that the provided QoS will be further degraded during a handover. In this letter, we propose a dynamic channel scanning algorithm that supports QoS. Simulation results show that the proposed mechanism reduces the service disruptions and provides the desired QoS to users during the scanning period.
