Enhancing AODV routing protocol using mobility parameters in VANET
Omid Abedi, Mahmood Fathy, Jamshid Taghiloo · 2008
VANET is new generation of ad hoc networks that implement between vehicles on a road. Because of high mobility, routing in VANET has more problems than MANET. Thereby, in this paper we propose a modification on AODV as MANET routing protocol to make it adaptive for VANET. When a node is mobile, it has three mobility parameters: position, direction and speed. In our method, we have used direction as most important parameter to select next hop during a route discovery phase. With respect to mobility model, if nodes has same direction with source and/or destination nodes, our solution might selects them as a next hop. Position is another parameter that we used for next hop selection.
