Simulation and research on active handoff decision strategy in aviation data link

An active handoff decision strategy is proposed to improve the handoff performance in aviation data link. According to this strategy, the high-quality data link is maintained timely. The VDLM2 models are created in Network Simulator version 2 (NS2) environments. The end-to-end delay and signal quality are analyzed. Simulation results illustrate that the proposed strategy achieves better handoff performance.
