IPv6 support for VANET with geographical routing

Abstract

IPv6 support is needed in vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) with geographical routing. Basic IPv6 protocols such as address auto-configuration assume multicast capable link. However, in VANET, the definition of link becomes ambiguous and it is difficult to support link-scope multicast. Artificial emulation of multicast capable link like Ethernet is possible but may cause low efficiency and high cost. A new way to efficiently run IPv6 over VANET is needed and this paper proposes such a scheme. Our proposal takes the architecture defined by the C2C-CC (car-to-car communication consortium) as a reference system and exploits its inherent features to perform IPv6 operations without link-scope multicast.
