Abstract

Measurements and ongoing research have shown that WLAN connection for moving vehicles is feasible. However none of the previous work suggests a solution addressing a complete array of the challenges in vehicular WLAN communications. To amend this we designed a system that provides wireless connection roaming at high velocities transparent to user level applications, and does not impose additional requirements to existing infrastructures. It offers simple deployment, security, and scalability. It remains efficient under ­ intermittent connectivity conditions and supports heterogeneous network mediums for increased robustness.
