ANALYSIS AND COMPARISON OF VANET ROUTING PROTOCOLS USING IEEE 802.11p AND WAVE

摘要

The Vehicular Adhoc network is the emerging research area w hich makes a phrase 'Network on the wheel". VANET is ad hoc network technology where cars or vehicles are used as mobile nodes to form a communication network. Routing protocols play a big vital role in terms of performance. MANETs and VANETs are infrastructure less networks, w here they are similar in characteristics. The similarity in both cases is the nodes are in motion with their self organizing characteristics w here there is no requirement of any fixed or existing infrastructure. [1]. The main purpose of VANET is to provide[2] ubiquitous connectivity w hile on the road to the mobile users, those are otherwise connected to the outside world. Due to the distinct features of VANETS, various problems can be tackled by the researchers. Applications developed for VANETS have very specific and clear goals such as providing intelligent and safe transport system
