Abstract

Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANETs) are self-configuring networks where the nodes are vehicles equipped with wireless communication technologies. In such networks, limitation of signal coverage and fast topology changes impose difficulties to the proper functioning of the routing protocols. Most applications critically rely on routing protocols. Thus in this work, we propose a methodology for investigating the performance of well established protocols for MANETs in the VANET arena. Three routing protocols are considered: AODV, DSDV and OLSR. To ensure a meaningful evaluation of the protocols, we devised a realistic simulation environment in terms of network characteristics, communications protocols and traffic patterns. We consider the VanetMobiSim software for a more realistic simulation of vehicular movements in urban environments, as well as the NS-3 package for traffic and communication emulation. Simulation results have led to conclude that the routing protocols analyzed present variable performances in the VANET scenario, with OLSR outperforming the other studied protocols.
