Mobility Prediction Project

These pages describe our solution to perform Mobility/Handover Prediction in a wireless network based on cellular architecture (e.g. IEEE 802.11). We describe also application scenarios which may benefit from the adoption of our Mobility/Handover Prediction mechanism.

For a detailed description:

• Introduction gives an overview about the deployment scenario of our Handover/Mobility Prediction mechanism.


• Handover Strategies and Prediction Mechanisms describes prinicples about our Handover/Mobility Prediction mechanism.
  • RSSI- vs. Position-based Mobility Prediction compares Handover/Mobility Prediction mechanism performance when based on either signal strength or wireless client position.
  • Handover/Mobility Prediction comparing several Filters compares Handover/Mobility Prediction mechanism performance when based on either actual or low-pass filtered signal strength.


• Handover and Mobility Prediction Applications proposes two deployment scenarios of our Handover/Mobility Prediction mechanism:
  • a Client-side Adaptive Buffering
  • and a Infrastructure-side Adaptive Buffering


• Simulator presents our wireless network simulator.
