seamless vertical handoff with required QoS we propose cross layer handoff
management algorithm that performs the better handoff in network layer
(layer 3) with the aid of link layer (layer 2) information. Since some
networks are overlapped each other on heterogeneous wireless networks,
Mobile Terminal (MT) may be possible to move to many networks. Among these
overlapped networks, our algorithm is developed with the aid of Global
Positioning System (GPS) that can trace the position and direction of
the Mobile Terminal (MT). Using GPS and layer 2 information we decrease
the probability of false handoff initiation that results wastage resources
and also increases the load on network.]]>Akyildiz, I.F., J. Xie and S. Mohanty,2004111628Anna Hac, 20021st Edn.,Campbell, A.T., J. Gomez, S. Kim and A.G. Valko,200074249Chang, I.C., C.H.
