HIMALIS-VI: Fast and Secure Mobility Management Scheme Based on HIMALIS for V2I Services in Future Networks

To overcome the inherent limitations of the current Internet architecture, such as lack of mobility support and security mechanism, research has begun on future Internet based on ID/locator split architecture. For the realization of future networks, it is necessary to consider the characteristics of their services and applications, as well as research on their basic architectures. The representative services include Cooperative Intelligent Transportation System (C-ITS) applications based on vehicle-to-vehicle/vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2V/V2I) communication which can prevent vehicular accidents, increase the efficiency of transportation systems, and reduce environmental pollution, all while improving passenger convenience. Since C-ITS services using V2I communication are tightly connected to both passenger and pedestrian safety, they require not only continuous network access but also secure communication regardless of the vehicle mobility. To provide continuous network access and secure communication to moving vehicles in future networks based on an ID/locator split approach, authentication and location updates of moving vehicles should be frequently performed, which results in significant signaling overhead. Therefore, to integrate V2I communication with an ID/locator split approach based on the (R1) HIMALIS architecture, in this paper we propose a novel mobility management scheme, called HIMALIS-VI, which can contribute to a delay reduction for the authentication and mitigating handover procedures at both the mobile hosts and network entities in an edge network.
