Abstract
A vehicular adhoc network (VANET) recently emerged in the the Internet of Vehicles (IoV); it involves the computational processing of moving vehicles. Nowadays, IoV has turned into an interesting field of research as vehicles can be equipped with processors, sensors, and communication devices. IoV gives rise to handoff, which involves changing the connection points during the online communication session. This presents a major challenge for which many standardized solutions are recommended. Although there are various proposed techniques and methods to support seamless handover procedure in IoV, there are still some open research issues, such as unavoidable packet loss rate and latency. On the other hand, the emerged concept of edge mobile computing has gained crucial attention by researchers that could help in reducing computational complexities and decreasing communication delay. Hence, this paper specifically studies the handoff challenges in cluster based handoff using new concept of dynamic edge-backup node. The outcomes are evaluated and contrasted with the network mobility method, our proposed technique, and other cluster-based technologies. The results show that coherence in communication during the handoff method can be upgraded, enhanced, and improved utilizing the proposed technique.
Highlights
A vehicular adhoc network (VANET) is mainly introduced to manage communication between vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-road side infrastructure (V2I) for exchanging road information for providing safety for onboard passengers, by promptly exchanging vehicles’ crash information to the surroundings as a way to avoid what is known as a “chain-of-accidents.” On the other hand, VANET is meant to provide entertainment, commercial-advertisements and infotainment applications to the road’s users
The authors of [20] provide a considerable body of literature in VANET state which consists of wireless local area networks (WLAN) and universal mobile telecommunication systems (UMTS) as they relate to the vertical handoff performance of vehicles
We have reviewed some of the handoff management techniques, their importance, and major issues within handoff process in VANET
Summary
A vehicular adhoc network (VANET) is mainly introduced to manage communication between vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-road side infrastructure (V2I) for exchanging road information for providing safety for onboard passengers, by promptly exchanging vehicles’ crash information to the surroundings as a way to avoid what is known as a “chain-of-accidents.” On the other hand, VANET is meant to provide entertainment, commercial-advertisements and infotainment applications to the road’s users. The aim of the handoff management is to maintain the active connections when a mobile node (MN) changes its point of connection This handoff management involves computational process and overview image of the wider scope of the mobility cluster that with conventional vehicular communication will not be visible. Having this process managed from a distant cloud server makes the process introduce some delay—more than required. Soft handovers may include connections to more than two cells As another scenario, when nodes switch between networks of the same infrastructure type while changing their connection in order to maintain active connection, this switching process is called horizontal handoff.
