Abstract

This paper proposes a SDN based Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) architecture for heterogeneous vehicular networks (SDN-VANET), to provide the continuity of service during the horizontal handovers and to reduce the delay during vertical and horizontal handovers. SDN-VANET mainly relies on DSRC road side units (RSUs) for V2I communication and to overcome the coverage problem SDN-VANET performs the vertical handover between DSRC and LTE/UMTS. To date there is no standard to perform network layer vertical handovers. Therefore the proposed SDN-VANET architecture also doesn't provide any mechanism for vertical network layer handovers, but solves the horizontal network layer handovers in DSRC or LTE/UMTS through introducing PMIPv6 in the architecture.
