Carbon emission-aware routing protocol in Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks
Ghulam Yasin, Syed Fakhar Abbas, Waseem Iqbal · 2015
Ad hoc network is sub-domain of network communication in which user communicates with each other by temporarily network without any centralized network administration. Each node acts as node as well as router to forward data packets on the basis of routing protocols. Wireless communication is the most research oriented era now days; most importantly in the field of vehicular ad hoc network. VANET is the sub-ordinate of the Mobile ad hoc Network (MANET). Efficient routing protocols play vital role in ad hoc networks in terms of network reliability and network performance. Routing in VANET is the most important and challenging research issue. Mostly MANET routing protocols used in the VANET, but usually MANET routing protocols are not compatible within VANET's scenario due to its mobility differences. In this research we validate a VANET routing protocol GeoWave for better information dissemination to overcome the traffic blockage and which will reduce the Carbon Dioxide (CO) of the Vehicles in the large congested urban area scenario. We use well-known network simulator Omnet++ and SUMO traffic generator to simulate the network environment.
