A Comparative Performance Evaluation of GRP and MDORA Protocols for VANET

Abstract

The vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is a kind of mobile ad hoc network (MANET). VANET is a wireless communication network that offers vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) or vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) dialogue. They have a dynamic topology and are often ad hoc networks, meaning they lack communication management and control infrastructure. Vehicle communication must be used for comfort and safety. The effectiveness of a communication link is determined by how successfully routing protocols are implemented in the network. This work aims to compare the performance of the geographical routing protocol (GRP) with that of the maximum distance on-demand routing algorithm (MDORA). Packet delivery ratio, communication overhead, and end-to-end delay are the performance parameters evaluated in this study.
