Abstract:
By taking advantage of the ever growing
deployment of wireless networks, the automotive
industry is increasingly enabling vehicles to communicate
with one another and with the infrastructure,
with benefits to information delivery and safety on
the road. Vertical Handovers can be used to ensure
that the Quality of Service demanded by applications
(e.g., throughput, latency) is met while the vehicle
is changing its position. In this paper we present a
Vertical Handover Decision Algorithm empowered by
the IEEE 802.21 standard and its services. Our proposed
algorithm uses the vehicle?s on-board unit features
and considers the geolocation, the car navigation
and a realistic propagation model for heterogeneous
underlying networks such as Wi-Fi, WiMAX,
and UMTS. Our results demonstrate, through a case
of study, that QoS can be guaranteed when location
and networking parameters are jointly considered
when performing vertical handover.
