A Speed-based Vertical Handover Algorithm for VANET

TLDR
An analytical model is presented in support of a novel vertical handover algorithm that uses the vehicle’s speed as crucial input and overcomes, under the assumptions, network performance of recent related works.
Abstract
Although Vehicular Ad hoc Networks are emerging as a novel paradigm for new classes of secure and safety services, supporting seamless connectivity remains a challenge, due to the high vehicle speed, and the nonhomogeneous nature of the network infrastructure. In this work we shall present an analytical model in support of a novel vertical handover algorithm that uses the vehicle’s speed as crucial input and overcomes, under our assumptions, network performance of recent related works. We support our initial results with a simulation study.

On modeling speed-based vertical handovers in vehicular networks: “Dad, slow down, I am watching the movie”

TL;DR: This work proves the counterintuitive result that in vehicular environments, even if a candidate network has significantly higher bandwidth, it is not always beneficial to abandon the serving network and introduces an analytical model for a vertical handover algorithm based on vehicle speed.
