Abstract :
The Mobile Wi-Fi system using Mobile Access Points (M-APs) is a new and effective method for vehicles to access the Internet service. This paper presents an analytic model to evaluate several handoff algorithms for using M-APs in vehicular networks. The analytic results show that the best handoff strategy depends on factors such as M-AP availability or connection duration.
