This app implements an infrastructure-initiated handover scheme for IEEE 802.11 infrastructure networks. It supports hard and a novel soft handover scheme. It was developed as part of BigAP.
The paper and slides describing BigAP can be found here: full paper slides
To install UniFlex framework with all available modules, please go through all steps in manifest repository.
You have to use our patched version of hostapd and iw. Please install them from src/ or use the binaries from bin/
In order to trigger an infrastructure-initiated handover a control
program has to send a upis.wifi.WiFiTriggerHandoverRequestEvent
event. This module will reply with an upis.net_func.TriggerHandoverReplyEvent
event.
See examples/handover2/
