Performance Evaluation of OLSR Protocol in a Grid Manhattan VANET Scenario for Different Applications

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the performance of OLSR protocol for location and VoIP applications in a Manhattan grid scenario. For the simulations, we used SUMO and NS3. We considered IEEE 802.11p standard, TwoRayGroundPropagationLossModel and sent multiple CBR flows over UDP between five pairs of source-destination nodes. We use Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), throughput, delay and average number of hops as evaluation metrics. The simulation results show that OLSR protocol can be used to send in real time location information and VoIP traffic between vehicles.
