Rapid technological advance in wireless mobile communication offered Internet accessibility at anytime and anywhere including high speed wireless environment such as in high speed trains, fast moving cars etc. However, wireless Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning in such high speed movement is more difficult and challenging to be tackled than in a fixed-wired environment. This paper discussed transport layer protocol, SCTP to support seamless handover that can guarantees and maintain high QoS in high speed vehicle. The comparison of the selected protocol have been identified and analysed in two handover techniques SIGMA and SCTPmx to optimize its performance in high speed vehicular environment.
