METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING HANDOVER IN VEHICLE COMMUNICATION ENVIRONMENT

摘要

In a vehicle communication environment, a handover apparatus that is located at a random vehicle determines whether to perform handover based on a received signal intensity value of a signal that is received from base stations that are installed at the roadside and information that is acquired from peripheral vehicles. In this case, it is determined whether to perform handover using a signal intensity value and a link base station value representing a base station to which each vehicle is connected among information that is acquired from peripheral vehicles.

主权项

1. A handover apparatus in a vehicle communication network in which communication between roadside base stations and a vehicle is performed, the handover apparatus comprising:
a transmitting and receiving unit that receives a signal that is broadcasted from a base station and that receives a hello message that is transmitted from the vehicles; and a signal processor that acquires a received signal intensity value of a signal that is received from the base station, that acquires vehicle information from the hello message, and that determines whether to perform handover based on the acquired received signal intensity value and the vehicle information, wherein the vehicle information comprises a link base station value representing a base station to which the vehicle is linked.
