Summary :

Most of the IP mobility management schemes based on the IETF's MIPv6 may not be suitable for delay-sensitive vehicular applications since there will be frequent service disruptions as the moving vehicles frequently change their points of wireless network attachment. This paper presents a fast IP mobility management scheme for vehicular networks where multiple wireless network interfaces are used to perform fast handovers without handover latency or packet loss. In order to do this, the IETF standard HMIPv6 has been extended, where multiple simultaneous tunnels between the HMIPv6 mobility anchor point (MAP) and the mobile gateway are dynamically constructed. We have designed the architecture for a mobile gateway for supporting multiple tunnels, the structure of the extension MAP (E-MAP), and the signaling procedure to achieve fast IP handover in vehicular networks. Both mathematical analysis and simulation have been done for performance evaluation. The results show that the proposed scheme is superior to HMIPv6 and MIPv6 with regard to handover latency and packet loss as the vehicle moves between different wireless network cells at high speed.
