An efficient handover procedure in vehicular communication

Abstract

In vehicular communication the handover procedure process becomes a common problem causing several issues during vehicle communication. These issues mainly can be as handover delay or signal loss that leads to throughput degrading and may cut the communication. This paper discuss an optimization of handover procedure to reduce the problems take place during handover of the vehicle especially with higher speeds. The idea is designing a cross-layer between transport layer and the data link layer of the protocol through an algorithm. Therefore, the suggested design can adapt a vehicle speed and handover procedure to reduce the delay time. The result clearly shows that the optimal design can achieve a minimum delay time of HO in any value of vehicle speed.
