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 networks. Fast handoff is needed for these delay sensitive application. However, the high mobility of vehicles can result in frequent handoffs, which may cause significant packet loss, and low throughput. In this project work, we proposed a seamless handoff scheme for IEEE802.11b in vehicular scenario (Fast Handoff Scheme).
