In VANETs and MANETs, the topology of the network changes very often, therefore implementation of efficient routing protocols is very important problem. In this paper, we investigated the goodput of AODV, OLSR and DYMO routing protocols using CAVENET (Cellular Automaton based VEhicular NETwork). The simulation results show that the number of hops for DYMO is smaller than AODV and bigger than OLSR. Also, the goodput of DYMO is better than OLSR, but smaller than AODV because DYMO is not equipped with a buffer for storing the packets. Delay for DYMO is a little bit higher than OLSR but it is smaller than AODV. But, different from AODV, the goodput of DYMO is stable. For this reason, DYMO has better performance than OLSR and AODV protocols.

VANET Simulators: A Survey on Mobility and Routing Protocols

Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) are an instance of Ad-hoc networks, which are general-purpose distributed wireless networks interconnected without the need of any centralized infrastructure. VANETs are expected to be massively deployed in upcoming vehicles, because their use can improve the safety of driving and makes new forms of inter-vehicle communications possible as well. The simulation of VANETs requires two different components: a vehicular traffic simulator, capable to provide an accurate mobility model for the nodes of a VANET, and a network simulator, for simulating the behavior of a wireless network. In this paper, we provide a survey of mobility models proposed for VANETs. We analyze challenges and future perspectives of VANET simulators and current routing solutions for VANET.

“…Also, the deployment of access points along highways in the near future seems feasible. Thus, it is important to investigate the application of MANET routing protocols for VANETs [6,11,12]. In [6], the authors present only the way of generating the vehicle movement pattern.…”

Abstract. Vehicle Ad-hoc Network (VANET) is a kind of Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) that establishes wireless connection between cars. In VANETs and MANETs, the topology of the network changes very often, therefore implementation of efficient routing protocols is very important problem. In MANETs, the Random Waypoint (RW) model is used as a simulation model for generating node mobility pattern. On the other hand, in VANETs, the mobility patterns of nodes is restricted along the roads, and is affected by the movement of neighbour nodes. In this paper, we present a simulation system for VANET called CAVENET (Cellular Automaton based VEhicular NETwork). In CAVENET, the mobility patterns of nodes are generated by an 1-dimensional cellular automata. We improved CAVENET and implemented some routing protocols. We investigated the performance of the implemented routing protocols by CAVENET. The simulation results have shown that DYMO protocol has better performance than AODV and OLSR protocols.
