This process takes a long time when using the IEEE 802.11 standard handoff and this delay affect the real time and multimedia applications. This paper provides a layer 2 handoff process for the IEEE 802.11 that is able to eliminate the scanning delay and reduce the total handoff delay. %K Handoff Delay %K IEEE 802.11 %K Layer 2 Handoff %K WLAN %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=8470
