The success of wireless systems of the future generation depends on effective mobility management strategies. In fifth-generation wireless networks that enable multimedia services, handoff management—one of the two fundamental mobility management functions—has assumed more importance. The study addresses fundamental concerns related to the handoff management component of overall mobility management in wireless communication systems. Protocols for general mobility management, handoff management, and mobility management are relevant and explained. A taxonomy of handoff methods, reasons why handoffs take longer than expected, and security in handoff procedures are elicited. In this paper, the scenario of two base stations is considered and the effect on RSS for different parameters like distance, frequency, and noise is represented. The movement of the user from one Base station to another Base station is considered as a major factor. Here, the effect on the Received Signal Strength (RSS) and path loss is calculated based on the movement and different parameters. With the increase in distance from base station, the RSS decreases which results the handoff. The effect of noise is also considered and the noise is directly proportional to the signal strength, so any change in RSS also effects the noise signal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
