| Abstract(E) | This study explores the impact of frequent handovers on connected car communication, focusing on high-speed environments like highways. Data from Tokyo highways show significant latency spikes and packet loss during handovers, degrading real-time applications. While Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) reduces latency in wired segments, it is less effective for wireless networks. Carrier aggregation is a key strategy to improve network stability by leveraging asynchronous handover timings across multiple carriers. The findings highlight the need for advanced handover management and future integration of next-generation networks to ensure reliable communication for connected vehicles. |
