Abstract
With the introduction of VANET, inter-vehicular communication and communication between vehicle and network infrastructure has become very convenient. This advancement has brought in challenges with itself. The vehicles are mobile; moving around with very high speed whereas infrastructure is stationary. Thereby handoff plays a critical role in VANET. In our approach, we have used radio frequency identification (RFID) tags for efficient hand off mechanism with reduced delay. RFID tags are deployed in the chassis of every vehicle containing the unique MAC address of that vehicle. RFID scanners are deployed on road which scans the RFID tags and sends the MAC address to the handoff gateway which communicates the information to the nearest access point. This makes the access point aware of the incoming vehicle thereby reducing the delay. Using this novel approach not only the delay in handoff is reduced but also hand off is performed efficiently with minimal information.
