This article describes how in the VANET environment, routes are broken owing to node mobility. Moreover, the usage of wireless links for data communication leads to inherent unreliability and are error prone. Single path routing uses a prediction mechanism to compute a reliable path considering vehicle velocity and vehicle direction. Nevertheless, this methodology does not deal with major real-world traffic conditions. Hence, to address the aforementioned problems and to enhance reliability and fault tolerance, multipath routing protocols are employed. However existing multipath routing protocols even though compute multipath, only one path will be engaged in actual communication at any given time. Hence this work proposes Adaptive Congestion Controlled Multipath Routing in a VANET. The proposed work computes multiple paths from source to destination using cubic Bezier curves and more importantly, employs all/more than one path during the communication. The paths thus computed are adaptive in nature dependent upon the direction of mobility of source and destination vehicles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
