Design and Analysis of Improved Dynamic Source Routing Protocol in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network

Abstract

Background and Objective: The present issues which are faced by the transport systems include enormous traffic jams and congestion, unexpected road accidents, unwanted time delays, pedestrians' crossings on main roads, wastage of fuel and many more. ITS, along with some other technologies, work together to overcome such factors contributing to a much more desirable transport system. This paper aims to identify the security measures that could increase the security of the routing protocol and improve the performance of DSR routing protocol. If the number of establishing links is frequently broken, then the performance of DSR routing protocol is not very good. A new modified DSR algorithm has been designed that would help in reducing the network overhead and increase the network quality. A comparison between the performances of both algorithms has also been studied, and the results show that improved DSR routing protocol has better efficiency in parameters like end-to-end network load delays and packet delivery ratio. Methods & Materials: The paper mainly focuses on securing Dynamic Source routing algorithm by designing its modified version and simulating it. We have Proposed Modified DSR and discussed so far that the basic functionality of the DSR algorithm, its advantages and disadvantages. The main drawbacks include the end-to-end Delay, network overhead and packet delivery ratio. Following is a modified version of the dynamic source routing algorithm which tries to overcome all the limitations of the basic algorithm at a certain level. In Dynamic Source Routing algorithm, the Route Maintenance phase is used for the successful propagation of the packet within the network. The nodes that are involved in the transmission acknowledge the receiving of the packet to the preceding node. Results and Discussion: The present study aims at modifying the existing algorithm and designing a new modified algorithm which has less routing overhead, less Delay in packet transmission and high network quality. Modified DSR routing algorithm is examined on the parameters like E-2-E delay, Normalize Routing Overhead, PDR. When we compare the performance the proposed method with Existing protocol AODV, and DSR at a number of nodes equal to 50 then we get the Proposed DSR which has least end-to-end Delay among all the three protocols. Conclusion: In this paper, Comparison of Exiting DSR and Modified DSR in terms of end-to-end Delay, routing load and packet delivery ratio is done. After studying the readings, the conclusion drawn was that there are less network overhead and high delivery ratio in modified DSR as compared to the existing DSR algorithm. The corrupted and destroyed packets are detected by the receiver, and in DSR, the mobility of mobile nodes are moderate. Under certain conditions, bidirectional and unidirectional links can be accepted. DSR routing protocols are highly dependent on the parameters such as area size, packet size, packet type, and others.

Improved DSR Routing Protocol Performance Using Intelligent Mobile Agent

“…The MAR-AODV protocol (Mobile Agent Routing-AODV) [1] and MAR-DSR protocol (Mobile Agent Routing-DSR) have a lower probability of packet congestion than the original AODV and DSR protocols. Some studies propose protocols to reduce latency and save energy based on mobile agents [5] [6] while others work on load balancing using mobile agents [8]. In this paper, the research team has implemented agent technology with the inclusion of LSD and Bandwidth fields in RREQ and RREP packets to serve as factors for choosing the most effective route of the DSR protocol.…”
