Abstract

Internet users are increasingly becoming more and more demanding, expecting Internet access anytime, anywhere, making ubiquitous, next generation networks a requirement. Uninterrupted connection, even in the case of moving networks, is expected. It is important for a vehicle network to reduce signaling traffic in wireless channels and have fast handover. To achieve these requirements, in this paper, a MRP based rouging scheme for network mobility, is proposed. In order to achieve fast handover, a candidate FA if found, which a mobile network is attached to, making an initial virtual connection to a Mobile Router (MR). In addition, the throughput of a wireless channel is upgraded, by reducing signaling traffic through load balancing. The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated through a series of simulations using Network Simulator (ns-2)
