Implementation and Performance Evaluation of Vehicle-Moving Based Routing Protocol in VANET

摘要

Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANET) has been becoming a potential candidate to enable variety of applications supporting traffic safety, traffic efficiency, and infotainment. There have been numerous research works to address many challenges in VANET to make this technology become possible deployments. One of key issues is to design a scalable routing protocol, which can support the robustness of the route disruption caused by the vehicle mobility. In this paper, a design and implementation of Vehicle-Moving based Routing Protocol is proposed to utilize vehicles' direction information to target the prediction of possible link-breakage events before they occur. This proposed scheme also helps reduce the routing information exchanged by choosing neighbor nodes which are grouped according to the same velocity vector. Besides, performance of the routing scheme is simulated and compared with the other popular protocols to illustrate advantages of the proposed routing strategy in terms of throughput, delay, and packet loss.
