With the explosion of wireless technologies, variable types of mobility are presented. To provide seamless communication and mobility management, IP based mobility management protocols are proposed. One of them, to provide inter/intra/inner vehicle communication, the vehicles' mobility management is studied that called VANET (vehicular ad hoc network). However, the mobility of vehicular results in short lived connections to access router (AR), affecting the availability of IP services in VANET.

With the navigation information that one of vehicles' mobility features, we are classified into intra highway mobility and global mobility management mobility. Furthermore, we propose efficient mobility management scheme based on route prediction in VANET. Experimental analysis shows that proposed mobility management protocol reduces handoff latency, signaling costs and packet loss. Figure 2 shows the call-flow of registration. This call-flow is consisted two parts (preregistration phase, after handoff phase). After handoff, the MH/MR does not have to register its new CoA to new AR. Also, the MH/MR sends only one BU to its HA when it joins into highway organization.
