Development of Mobile Access Point for Vehicular WiBro Networks

This paper proposes the architecture of the mobile Access Point (AP) for vehicular WiBro (Wireless Broadband) Networks and describes the development result. The proposed mobile AP organizes a moving network inside a vehicle for passengers and devices to access Internet while the vehicle moves. The mobile AP implements following properties: NEtwork MObility (NEMO), IPv6 over WiBro, and Multihoming. NEMO enables the mobile WiBro AP to aggregate mobility management of the devices inside the vehicle. The NEMO Basic Support protocol is based on the Mobile IPv6 protocol to support vast address space for a lot of devices inside a vehicle.
