Abstract

Since improvement of wireless communication, IP based mobility management protocols have been studied to provide seamless communication and mobility management. The vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is one of mobility management protocols, especially providing seamless connection with inter/intra/inner vehicle communication. However, each vehicle moves fast that causes short-lived connections with Access Router (AR). Based on vehicles' characteristic, it is hard to provide the availability of IP services in VANET. The most critical issue of the design of scalable routing algorithm is to provide robustness of frequent path disruption caused by vehicles' mobility. In this paper, we pursue the characteristics of vehicles' mobility and analyze them. With the navigation information which is one of vehicles' mobility characteristics, we classify the mobility into intrahighway mobility and global mobility management. Furthermore, we propose mobility management scheme based on route prediction in VANET. Handoffs with intrahighway mobility are managed locally and transparency is provided to CHs, while global mobility is managed with Mobile IPv6. Finally, through the numerical analysis, we show that proposed mobility management protocol reduces handoff latency, signaling costs, and packet loss.

Highlights

  • Nowadays, by improved wireless communication technique, wireless node and sensor are rapidly increased

  • We focus on network mobility management to provide reliable communication within the vehicle that moves in fast moving area such as highway

  • We propose efficient mobility management scheme based on route prediction in vehicular ad hoc network (VANET)

Summary

Introduction

By improved wireless communication technique, wireless node and sensor are rapidly increased. IETF proposed IP based mobility management protocols to provide seamless communication and mobility management [1,2,3]. Many mobility management protocols have been proposed to improve handoff performance and reduce signaling overhead. The other problem is that if several MHs move to identical route continuously as a group, MIPv6 results in same handoff latency and same signaling costs for each MH. To solve this problem, the IETF NEMO working group proposed network mobility basic support protocol [2] extending MIPv6. We show that proposed mobility management protocol reduces handoff latency, signaling costs, and packet loss.
