WiFi architecture for traffic control using MIPv6

Abstract

This paper focuses on the wireless communication aspect of the traffic control problem in urban areas. The IEEE 802.11b standard is used and an architecture is developed that produces zero packet loss at vehicle speeds of up to 60 Km/hr. A quantitative comparison is made between the Mobile Internet Protocol v4 (MIPv4) and MIPv6. It is shown that MIPv6 produces much less packet losses than MIPv4. Burst communication is then used to eliminate packet losses completely and the interpacket and inter-burst intervals are determined. Finally, the effects of the Router Advertisement Interval (RAI) and the Mobility Detection Factor (MDF) are investigated and the optimum parameter values are determined in the context of the traffic control problem.

Fault-tolerant access points in a mobile IPV6 WiFi light urban traffic communication model

“…The data is lost over the MN journey in the system due to the handoff mechanism (in the shadow areas) based on MIPv6, and due to the blind areas caused by the damaged AP. Based on [14], the transmitted data from the CN to the MN is a 3 Packet Burst with inter-packet time of 36sec (t packet =36sec), inter-burst time of 120sec (t burst =120sec) and the burst consists of 3 identical information packets. Scenarios for 1 MN moving at 33 and 60Km/hr are run in OPNET environment.…”

“…The AP transmit power is gradually increased in steps of 2mW. Recall that the original AP transmit power in [6,10,14,16] was 4mW. In this research, the AP simulated transmit powers are 6, 8, 10 and 12mW.…”

“…In [6,10,14,16], a sector consisting of 7 Access Points (AP) in hexagon shape ( Fig. 1) is introduced as a building block of a WiFi communication scheme.…”

“…MIPv6 [11][12][13] showed better performance than MIPv4, specially with the introduction of Burst Communication [14].…”
