Abstract

The paper focuses on the dominant handoff algorithms in vehicular Radio-over-Fiber (RoF) networks at 60 GHz. We present in short the afore-mentioned handoff algorithms, i.e., the Traditional Handoff (THO), the Virtual Cellular Zone (VCZ), the Moving Extended Cell (MEC) and the Moving Extended N-Cells (MENC), respectively. Furthermore, we analyze the corresponding mathematical models regarding packet loss for each one of the above handoff algorithms and we finally realize a simulation study in order to verify the theoretical results and strengthen the performance evaluation study.
