Global mobility and Handover management for heterogeneous network in vanet

Abstract

Now a day's Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) is an emerging technology. Mobility management is one of the most challenging research issues for VANETs to support variety of intelligent transportation system (ITS) applications. VANETs are getting importance for inter-vehicle communication, because they allow the communication among vehicles without any infrastructure, configuration effort, and without the high costs of cellular networks. Besides local data exchange, vehicular applications may be used to accessing Internet services. The access is provided by Internet gateways located on the site of roadside. However, the Internet integration requires a respective mobility support of the vehicular ad hoc network. In this paper we will study about the network mobility approach in vehicular ad hoc network; the model will describe the movement of vehicles from one network to other network. The proposed handover scheme reduces the handover latency, packet loss signaling overhead.
