Anycast Based Routing in Vehicular Adhoc Networks (VANETS) using Vanetmobisim
Laiq Khan, Nohman Ayub, Aamir Saeed · 2009
Vehicular Adhoc Networks (VANETS) is an emerging flavor of Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANETS) to improve intelligent Inter Vehicle and Vehicle to Vehicle communication without any fixed infrastructure. VANETS can be used to improve the Comfort Applications such as traffic information, weather information, gas station/restaurant location information or interactive communication such as Internet access and downloads. As these networks have no fixed communication structure and may vary heavily due to which routing of data packets through VANETS is very crucial. To evaluate the performance of Adhoc routing protocol in realistic urban vehicular motion pattern to make an improvement in providing Comfort Applications, this study proposes MANET anycast AODV routing protocol to make it adaptive for VANETS using VanetMobisim (a generator for vehicular mobility traces) under different matrices such as varying node maximum speed, varying number of nodes and with varying number of Constant Bit Rate (CBR) Sources.
