Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel solution for usage of the Network Mobility Basic Support protocol in vehicular ad hoc networks. The solution adopts geographical routing as a sub-IP ad hoc routing protocol and applies a standard NEMO Mobile Router on top. As a result, Internet access enhanced with IP mobility support is available via a multi-hop path towards an access point. Compared with other approaches, this solution allows for immediate adaptation of data routes to topology changes, as shown by the results of measurements conducted for high rate data traffic. The paper also analyzes the case of vehicular networks isolated from a network infrastructure and suggests basic strategies for the integrated support of connected and disconnected scenarios. Finally, selected items for further research in this area are suggested.
