Abstract

In recent years, vehicular communication industries focus on the live information transfer with high-speed mobility of vehicles. Though vehicles are normally equipped with a single communication system, they may find different networks for communication during travel. In order to access, seamless connectivity vehicles needed to be connected in different networks and vertical handover comes into the picture. Even future generation wireless communication systems require support for multimode communication of Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets). This paper introduces a novel Road Side Unit (RSU) selection scheme for vehicular communication. The objective is to provide travelers with seamless connectivity and increase the network utilization. This scheme sense of balances between the interests of RSUs and On-Board Unit (OBU) via a suitably Software-Defined Network (SDN) control. The SDN assesses the HetNet performance based on user preferences and finds the proper RSU for the OBUs. This scheme maximizes the HetNet utilization and minimizes handover by properly balancing the load among the RSUs in the HetNet. The scheme enhances the performance by rejecting unnecessary requests. The simulation model claims that the proposed RSU selection scheme improves the HetNet functionality for vehicular communication in terms of Handover Served Ratio (HSR), OBU Served Ratio (OSR), and total throughput.
