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.
