MOMMA: A Flexible Architecture Based on Fog Computing for Mobility Management

Abstract

Due to the emergence of new services offered by intelligent transport systems and vehicular clouds, control of communication between vehicles and the Internet becomes indispensable, in which such control needs to deal with the demand for services provided by such systems, without overloading network technologies. Thus, in this paper, we propose the development of a flexible architecture capable of meeting not only the network demands, but also the quality of service parameters of each class of service that are offered by intelligent transport systems or vehicular clouds through the Internet. Thus, we seek to maximize the flow of information without compromising network performance. For the evaluation of the proposed architecture as well as to make a comparison with three related works in the literature we use the simulator NS3. The results showed that the proposed mechanism reduces packet loss, maximizes the input information and decreases handover time.
