Abstract

This paper proposes a mobility management scheme for delay-sensitive urban vehicular networks in order to reduce the mobility handover delay. The architecture based on road domains is presented. Based on this architecture, the intra-RD and inter-RD mobility handover algorithms are proposed. During the intra-RD mobility handover process, a vehicle’s care-of address keeps unchanged, so the intra-RD mobility handover process does not include the care-of address configuration. As a result, the handover cost and delay are reduced. During the inter-RD mobility handover process, a vehicle can receive the data destined for both its old care-of address and new care-of address from the same border access point, so the packet loss is substantially reduced. This paper evaluates the performance of this scheme, and the data results show that this scheme reduces the mobility handover cost and delay.
