Abstract
The research paper aims to design and implement an algorithm for vertical handover in cellular networks. The algorithm is based on Fuzzy Logic and the main parameters considered are Received Signal Strength, Channel Capacity, Velocity of the User and distance from Base Station. We have studied the variation in the points of handover under the conditions of variation in the operating frequency of base stations.
