Abstract: This paper focuses on data delivery in IP-based VANET with network gaps and aims to improve the data delivery rate and lower the data delivery latency by bypassing network gaps. In order to achieve these objectives, this paper proposes the routing and handover algorithms to achieve data delivery. Based on the proposed routing and handover algorithms, data can be delivered along the shortest path without network gaps and multiple vehicles can achieve handovers via one handover operation. Finally, this proposal is evaluated, and the data results show that the delivery rate is improved and the data delivery latency is reduced.
