Abstract: In wireless and mobile networks ensuring smooth handoff and tracing exact location of destination node and that too without wasting much time and bandwidth of constrained network is much essential. Several related techniques have been proposed in literature. Each has its own advantages/disadvantages. In this paper, we have proposed, first, a fuzzy logic based handoff management scheme that also handles some basic network management activities like call transferring after allotting a suitable wireless or radio link to the incoming node. It also proposes a location management scheme based on simple heuristics technique like time and probability.

Keywords: mobile nodes; fuzzy logic; handoff management; location management; priority; wireless networks; mobile networks.
