Investigating fading impact on AODV, OLSR and DSDV protocols in NS3

Abstract

Vehicular communication is an emerging research topic that has not been satisfied yet.Vehicular Ad hoc NETwork, VANET is a system that provides warning messages,road traffic information and advertisement data to drivers.Although It is a domain were the realisation of real experimentations is very expensive and may be dangerous so simulations are the most adapted investigation method to these situations.In our study we used Network Simulator 3 to investigate the influence of the NAKAGAMI fading on the network performances of the three routing protocols AODV,DSDV, and OLSR. Packet Loss ratio and mean delay augmentations were analysed for every protocol in different node densities..
