Mobile grids and internet service providers are offering competitive real time services to customers in order to fulfil their daily demands. Nowadays, WiMAX has become a key player in telecommunication industry for providing cost effective communication solutions to customers residing in developed and underdeveloped regions. Moreover, a significant role of WiMAX technology is to fill the gap between the first-world and third-world countries. WiMAX technology offers affordable low cost wireless multimedia services to its customers by using point to multipoint propagation methods. Over the past few years, the problem of white spots in WiMAX grids has been reported in the literature extensively. Consequently, this issue has got a lot of attention from researchers. In order to disentangle the phenomenon of white spots, a novel algorithm based on time efficient cognitive vertical handoff scheme has been presented in this paper. The proposed algorithm is based upon principles of cognitive heterogeneous wireless grids. The simulation results have shown that the proposed algorithm is a promising candidate to overcome the problem of white spots in mobile WiMAX grids.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2016\/6254028","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,3,28]],"date-time":"2016-03-28T21:01:22Z","timestamp":1459198882000},"page":"1-17","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Towards the Elimination of White Spots in Mobile WiMAX Grids through Time Efficient Cognitive Vertical Handoff Algorithm"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2016","author":[{"given":"Abid Ali","family":"Minhas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Al Yamamah University, Riyadh 11512, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ahmed","family":"Qaddus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wireless Research Center, Bahria University, Shangrila Road, Sector E-8, Islamabad, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Muhammad Saeed","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University College of Engineering, Sciences & Technology, Lahore Leads University, Lahore, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohsin","family":"Iftikhar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Charles Sturt University, Locked Bag 588, Boorooma Street, Wagga Wagga, NSW 2678, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tanveer","family":"Zia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Charles Sturt University, Locked Bag 588, Boorooma Street, Wagga Wagga, NSW 2678, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abdulaziz","family":"Almazyad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Al Yamamah University, Riyadh 11512, Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"King Saud University, Riyadh 12372, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Naveen","family":"Chilamkurti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"La Trobe University, Plenty Road and Kingsbury Drive, Melbourne, VIC 3086, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"98","reference":[{"key":"1","year":"2005"},{"key":"34","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/dac.1217"},{"key":"35","year":"2011"},{"key":"40","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ietcom\/e88-b.11.4309"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/mc.2004.1266286"},{"issue":"1","key":"4","first-page":"1","volume":"2008","year":"2008","journal-title":"Journal of Telecommunications and Information Technology"},{"key":"16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/mcom.2009.5116805"},{"issue":"1","key":"18","first-page":"6","year":"2003","journal-title":"Ericsson Review"},{"key":"41","year":"2005"},{"issue":"7","key":"47","first-page":"41","volume":"1","year":"2006","journal-title":"Journal of Computers"},{"key":"28","series-title":"Version 2.0","year":"2007"},{"issue":"8","key":"52","first-page":"1135","volume":"5","year":"2011","journal-title":"Australian Journal of Basic & Applied Sciences"},{"key":"59","volume-title":"Mobile virtual private grids: issues and challenges","year":"2011"},{"key":"60","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11277-007-9264-5"},{"key":"45","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/mcom.2002.1024422"},{"key":"17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/surv.2013.042313.00197"},{"key":"39","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/mprv.2004.1269130"},{"key":"43","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/tnsm.2006.4798306"}],"container-title":["Mobile Information Systems"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/misy\/2016\/6254028.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/misy\/2016\/6254028.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/misy\/2016\/6254028.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,18]],"date-time":"2016-08-18T22:41:18Z","timestamp":1471560078000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/misy\/2016\/6254028\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2016]]},"references-count":18,"alternative-id":["6254028","6254028"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2016\/6254028","relation":{},"ISSN":["1574-017X","1875-905X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1574-017X","type":"print"},{"value":"1875-905X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2016]]}}}
