Performance Analysis of Advanced FMIPv6 for Handover Schemes in VANET

Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) is a rising technology. The vehicle in the network uses the wireless medium to interconnect with other vehicles in their radio range. A heterogeneous wireless network (HWN) which is hybrid network of cellular network (having access routers (AR) and Internet Service Providers (ISP) for providing interaction and internet services to the VANET) and VANET. Internet Engineering Task force (IETF) given MIPv4/v6 (Mobile Internet Protocol -version4/6) and FMIPv6 (Fast) as mobility and handover management methods which is standard protocol. An improvement of FMIPv6, a handover management method using concept of tunnelling is simulated in VANET. NS2 is the simulating tool for evaluating performance of advanced FMIPv6 against standard FMIPv6 by seeing the parameters like Tunnelling Performance, Handover Latency, Packet Loss, Signalling Overhead Ratio, Service Disturbance Time, and Network Time.
