Fast handoff scheme for vehicular Ad-Hoc network (VANET)

Recent advances in wireless technologies and dedicated short-range communications technologies have made inter vehicular communications (V2V) and vehicle-to-Infrastructure communications (V2I) possible. Wireless communication is of great importance for safety and entertainment purposes in vehicular...
