TECHNOLOGY An Approach to Glaucoma using Image Segmentation Techniques

In wireless networks, mobile node frequently perfo rms handoff. The handoff may occur due to many factors like signal strength, load balancing, numbe r of connections, network status and frequencies en gaged etc. This frequent handoff may disturb the services and creat e few milliseconds of interruption. This delay and number of unwanted handoffs should be minimized for break less performance. Increasing in packet loss rates and heavy traffic will initiate incorrect handoff. In this paper we p roposed a numerical method to calculate the network status for avoiding unbeneficial handoffs and to eliminate unwanted traffic.
