Comparison and Analysis Study between AODV DSR Routing Protocols in Vanet with IEEE 802.11

Abstract

Mobile Ad-Hoc networks (MANET) have become related to several aspects in human life while normal users uses the wireless mobile systems without prior knowledge about how such systems works. In order to support the mobility in MANETs, the routing protocols are needed to handle the data transmission between the wireless nodes from a source to destination. Ad-Hoc On demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) is a popular routing protocols used in MANET. Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANET) is a special type of MANET which is used to support the high mobility between moving cars on the roads. In this paper the AODV and DSR are applied on a VANET over two different scenarios, dense and sparse traffic based on cars density on the road, and then both protocols are evaluated based on different performance metrics
