Abstract:
VANETs (Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks) are an emerging new technology
which integrates the capabilities of new generation wireless networks to
vehicles. It includes a variety of applications such as safety application,
Mobility, Convenience and Internet Access Applications. Because of the
high nodes mobility and unreliable channel conditions, VANETs have
unique characteristics which pose many challenging research issues.
This work is mainly focused on routing protocol for VANETs. The main
requirement of routing protocols is to achieve minimal communication
time with minimum consumption of network resources. Many routing
protocols have been developed for VANETs (Vehicular Ad-hoc
Networks), such as AODV (Ad-hoc On demand Distance Vector) and
DSDV (Destination Sequence Distance Vector). The main aim of this
work is to evaluate two different routing protocols (AODV and DSDV)
in terms of Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), average Delay and throughput
by using MOVE and SUMO to generate mobility model and NS-2 to
evaluate these protocols. Simulation results showed that AODV is better
for VANET system because in AODV there is no need to maintain route
table, which results in less bandwidth consumption.
