The proposed fast IP hand- off method offers the next generation WLAN applications such as Voice over WLANs (VoWLAN) complete freedom of movement without expe- riencing any connectivity problems. The performance results verify that this method outperforms other existing proposed IP mobility solutions inWLANs, in a way which introduces the lesser imperative amendments to the existing 802.11 wireless LAN framework.}, author = {Christos Bouras and Ioanna Sampraku and T Karoubalis} }
