Description

Communication has never been the same since the advent of cellular phones and numerous applications with different functionalities seem to crop up on a daily basis. Various applications seem to crop up on a daily basis. Ad hoc networks were developed with the intent of creating networks made up of interconnected nodes, on-the-go. Ad hoc networks have numerous applications, the most popular being vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). In VANETs, moving vehicles are considered to be the mobile nodes and mobile vehicular nodes move at high speeds. Mobility of the nodes makes it difficult to maintain stable communication links between the nodes and the access points. A process known as handoff is used to bridge this gap and is considered to be one of the solutions for unstable communication links over larger distances. Handoff can usually be seen when the nodes are mobile and start to move away from the access points. This paper discusses and compares various handoff methods that were proposed by various researchers with an intent to increase positive attributes while negating the rest of the components that do not support in increasing the efficiency of the handoff process. 2020, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
