Abstract

In large vehicles such as a train, passengers can access Internet through an in-vehicle mobile router to effectively reduce the cost and overhead of roaming to a new network. While we apply the idea of mobile network into large vehicles, the critical issue is how to build up seamless Internet access services between vehicle’s mobile network and fixed networks along the moving path or stations. Mobile router is constructed by the technologies of Mobile IP and double IP tunneling. Through the mobile router, the mobile network in large vehicles can provide passengers a seamless Internet access with the access points outside. However, mobile router inherits the QoS issues in Mobile IP. In this paper, we apply the idea that large vehicles usually have a fixed or predictive moving path to propose a PPT (Predictive Packet Transmission) scheme to improve the quality of Internet access service in mobile network. Through theoretical analysis and preliminary experiment, we demonstrate that the proposed PPT scheme can reduce not only the network handoff time but also the packet loss.
