HIMALIS-C-ITS: Fast and secure mobility management scheme based on HIMALIS for cooperative ITS service in future networks

In order to realize the future networks, it is required to consider the characteristics of their services and applications as well as the research on the basic architecture. The Cooperative Intelligent Transportation System (C-ITS) service belongs to representative ones since it can prevent vehicular accidents, increase the efficiency of transportation system and reduce environmental pollution, while improving passengers convenience. The C-ITS services requires not only continuous network access but also the secure communication regardless of vehicle´s mobility since the services are tightly connected to the safety and life of passengers and pedestrians. In order to provide the continuous network access and secure communication to moving vehicles in the future networks based on the ID/locator split approach, authentication and location update of moving vehicles should be performed frequently, which result in significant signaling overheads. Therefore, in this paper, in order to integrate the C-ITS services with the ID/locator split approach based on HIMALIS architecture, we propose a novel mobility management scheme, named HIMALIS-C-ITS, which can contribute to reducing the delay in authentication and mitigating handover procedure at the mobile hosts as well as at the network entities in the edge network.
