Abstract

IP mobility management protocols (e.g. host based mobility protocols) incur significant handover latency, thus aggravate QoS for end user devices. Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) was proposed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as a new network-based mobility protocol to reduce the host based handover latency. However the current PMIPv6 cannot support the vehicles high mobility while the vehicles motion within PMIPv6 domain. In this paper we introduce a novel intra-domain PMIPv6 handover technique based vehicular network using Media Independent Handover (MIH). The novel intra-domain PMIPv6 handover based vehicular network improves the handover performance of PMIPv6 by allowing the new PMIPv6 domain to obtain the MIIS information to estimate whether the handover is necessary or not before the vehicles movement to the second MAG of the new PMIPv6 domain. We evaluate the handover latency and data packet loss of the proposed handover process compared to PMIPv6. The conducted analysis results con?rm that the novel handover process yields the reduced handover latency compared to that of PMIPv6 and also prevents data packet loss.

Highlights

  • The advanced wide deployment of wireless technologies in generation networks laid the foundation stone of vehicular communication allowing vehicles to connect with the internet during movement

  • In this novel intra-Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) handover technique we suggest that the “Prefix” parameter is added to these primitives and thereby the serving Mobile Access Gateway (MAG) gets the information by pulling and using the prefix

  • We proposed an intra-domain PMIPv6 handover technique for vehicular environment and compared our proposed technique with PMIPv6

Summary

INTRODUCTION

The advanced wide deployment of wireless technologies in generation networks laid the foundation stone of vehicular communication allowing vehicles to connect with the internet during movement. The developed PMIPv6 network-based protocol [5] allows an unaltered and mobility-unaware vehicle to change its attachment point while maintaining network connectivity. The investigation and analysis on the handover process of PMIPv6, which is expected to be a base mobility management protocol for generation wireless networks (NGWN), is required. PMIPv6 extends the signaling of MIPv6 and reuses most of MIPv6 concepts such as HA functionality In addition it introduces two new elements known as Local Mobility Anchor (LMA) and Mobile Access Gateway (MAG) [4]. Layer 3 handover occurs when the vehicle changes its point of attachment after an inter-domain movement (inter-network or intra-foreign-network-movement).
