Abstract: Since improvement of wireless communication, IP based mobility management protocols have been studied to provide seamless communication and mobility management. The vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is one of mobility management protocols, especially providing seamless connection with inter/intra/inner vehicle communication. However, each vehicle moves fast that causes short-lived connections with Access Router (AR). Based on vehicles' characteristic, it is hard to provide the availability of IP services in VANET. The most critical issue of the design of scalable routing algorithm is to provide robustness of frequent path disruption caused by vehicles' mobility. In this paper, we pursue the characteristics of vehicles' mobility and analyze them. With the navigation information which is one of vehicles' mobility characteristics, we classify the mobility into intrahighway mobility and global mobility management. Furthermore, we propose mobility management scheme based on route prediction in VANET. Handoffs with intrahighway mobility are managed locally and transparency is provided to CHs, while global mobility is managed with Mobile IPv6. Finally, through the numerical analysis, we show that proposed mobility management protocol reduces handoff latency, signaling costs, and packet loss.
