Recently, data traffic movement through a wireless channel is assisted by
suggesting and implementing many mechanisms, to achieve the speedy
increasing importunity and popularity of the wireless networks. Various
wireless technologies can be copulated to develop a heterogeneous network,
which is a candidate towards (4G) networks. OPNET modeler (14.5) is used
to design simulation modules of the heterogeneous network. During device
connection between the worldwide interoperability for microwave access
(WiMAX) and universal mobile telecommunication system (UMTS)
networks, Performance metrics such as; Jitter end-to-end delay (E-2-E)
Throughput is used. The results of the simulation are measured to determine
the efficiency of the transfer using WiMAX-UMTS according to the selected
metrics. The WiMAX-UMTS has shown valuable improvement in Process
Durability, reduction of E-2-E delay, and Jitter. The maximum amount of data
transfer and the least amount of delay and Jitter is at 250 sec. Because of the
handover operations and data transfer momentum, the worst-case passes in the
network when 618 sec is the minimum amount. The efficiency of
throughput for WiMAX equal to 0.092666% as for the efficiency of
throughput for UMTS equal to 4.633333*10-6 % whereas the E-2-E
efficiency a delay equal to 0.5466%.
