Abstract: Multimedia services such as VoIP using mobile stationsequipped with the IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Network(WLAN) module in fast moving environments like Vehicle Adhoc Networks (VANETs) are being used constantly.To provide multimedia services handoff among access points is essential. But, the IEEE 802.11 handoff using hard-handoff may easily lose connection, and it wastes much time onrecognizing the connection severance and channel search time for re-connection. Such a wasted time can cause problems formultimedia data transmission. So, an expected capacity based handoff algorithm will give an idea to overcome the service disconnection problem. The simulation results show that the service disconnection problem is considerably reduced in expected capacity based handoff algorithm.
