A Simulation of AODV and GPSR Routing Protocols in VANET Based on Multimetrices

Abstract

Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs), a subsection of Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs), have strong future application prospects. Because topology structures are rapidly changing, determining a route that can guarantee a good Quality of Service (QoS) is a critical issue in VANETs. Routing is a critical component that must be addressed in order to utilize effective communication among vehicles. The purpose obtained from this study is to compare the AODV and GPSR performance in terms of Packet Delivery Ratio, Packet Drop Ratio, Throughput, and End-to-End Delay by applying three scenarios, the first scenario focuses on studying these protocols in terms of QoS while changing the number of vehicles at a constant speed of 40Km/h, and for the second scenario changing the speed value while keeping a constant number of vehicles which is 100, the third involves changing the communication range at a constant speed and vehicle number. This study represents a foundation for researchers to help elaborate on the strength and weaknesses of these two protocols. OMNeT++ in conjunction with SUMO is used for simulation.
