Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) is a form of Mobile Ad Hoc
Networks, but the nodes of this network are vehicles with special equipment to enable
them to communicate with each other. These networks need to implement protocols to
ensure that messag
es are reached to their destinations and achieve the desired goal of the
application.
In this paper, we present an analysis of the performance of a number of major routing
protocols used in these networks which protocols AODV (Ad hoc On-Demand Distance
Vector), DSR (Dynamic Source Routing), and OLSR (Optimized link state routing). This
analysis is based on various parameters such as packet delivery ratio and end-to-end delay,
in order to find the best protocol can be used in the network with low density.
To achieve this purpose, we used a simulator OPNET_17.5. Depending on the
simulation results we have obtained and the analysis and comparison of these protocols at
different low density contract .We found that the protocol AODV is the best among the
studied protocols under the conditions set out in this study.
A Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) is a collection of nodes forming a
wireless network, but the nodes of this network are vehicles with special equipment that
enable them to communicate with each other. VANET protocols have to face high
challenges
due to dynamically changing topologies, link breakage and low vehicular
density. A suitable and effective routing protocol helps to ensure that messages are reached
to their destinations and achieve the desired aim of the application.
In this research, we present an analysis of the performance of two major routing
protocols used in these networks, which are AODV (Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector)
and GPSR (Greedy Perimeter Stateless Routing). This analysis is based on various
parameters such as end-to-end delay and average dropped packets, in order to find the best
protocol which can be used in the network with low density at the junctions. To achieve
this purpose, we used a simulator OPNET_17.5. Depending on the simulation results, we
have obtained and the analysis and comparison of two protocols at different low density
contract. We found that GPSR protocol has better performance end-to-end delay and
average dropped packets are used as the performance metrics, and is better for VANET
under the low vehicular density simulation scenario at junctions.
