Abstract
A picocellular network consists of picocells whose radius is of the order of ten meters. The smaller cell size causes frequent handoffs of mobile hosts. In order to support seamless communication service to mobile users, we need a new handoff scheme. In this paper, we propose a multicast-based pre-handoff scheme, called SGMH (SubGroup Multicastbased Handoff), which minimizes buffer overhead for seamless communication service as well as handoff processing delay. We show the performance in terms of blocking probability through analysis and simulation.
