  abstract = {In this paper, we present a performance analysis for different implementations
	of handover in indoor wireless networks (IWN) that use heating, ventilation,
	and air conditioning (HVAC) ducts as communication channels. If FDMA/TDMA
	technology is used, our results show that the handover performance,
	i.e., new call blocking and handover dropping probabilities, of an
	IWN that uses HVAC ducts are up to 6.6 times better for practical
	scenarios compared to those of traditional IWN (i.e., IWN that do
	not use HVAC ducts). Our results also indicate that for scenarios
	under investigation, using a single access point to serve one floor
	and its staircase region achieves the best handover performance for
	IWN that use HVAC ducts. The solution to the handover problem in
	HVAC-IWN is tightly coupled with the coverage, capacity, and load
	balancing issues in indoor wireless networks. We show, for the first
	time, that the proposed solution to the handover problem in HVAC-IWN
	results in an increase in capacity per coverage area, an increase
	in the radius of coverage for an access point, and can be used to
	achieve load balancing in WLAN that use IEEE 802.11 technology.},
