Proposal for implementation of 802.21 Information Services (MIIS) as Handover support in Vanet networks

Abstract

AbstractVehicular networks, both schemes vehicle to vehicle (V2V) and vehicleinfrastructure (V2I), are specially considered in different research and development processes nowadays. The SEISCIENTOS project focuses its work on studying the feasibility of these technologies in the field of vehicles, exploring new strategies for network modeling in VANETs and directing all the development to an integrated environment that provides a common interface for communication; isolating the user from transfers or changes that may occur between different network technologies. This article presents a proposal for implementation on NS2, the Media Independent Information Service (MIIS) of IEEE 802.21 [1], so that it allows to assess aspects of its impact in the test scenario defined for the development of the SEISCIENTOS project.
