Performance analysis of DSR and DYMO routing protocols for VANETs

Abstract

Wireless networks are continuing to attract attention for their potential use in several fields such as ad-hoc networks, sensor networks, mesh networks, and vehicular networks. Vehicular Ad-hoc networks (VANETs) are expected to be massively deployed in upcoming vehicles, because their use can improve the road safety and comfort. The effective implementation of vehicular communication could improve traffic management system. This effectiveness could be achieved by designing and implementing efficient vehicular network protocols. In this paper, we have implemented two routing protocols: DSR and DYMO and investigated the performance of these routing protocols using PDR and good put metrics. The simulation results shows that DYMO protocol performs better than DSR protocol.
