In future wireless systems, the integration of different wireless network technologies can provide mobile users higher bandwidth and reduced cost. In order to enjoy these benefits, effective vertical handovers algorithms become a critical issue. In my project, a received signal strength measurement based method is developed to increase the efficiency of handovers between wide and local area networks. It is demonstrated that the proposed method significantly enhances the performance of the handovers.
