Abstract:
Many routing algorithms for vehicular ad-hoc networks have relied on geographic forwarding as a means to reduce the paths sensitivity to individual vehicle movements. In recent years, the basic forwarding strategies have been refined to create road-based paths, connecting successive road intersections selected on the basis of the connectivity between them. Revisiting this idea, we present two different flavors of a new protocols (Intersection-Based Routing on Virtual Nodes): called VNIBR reactive and proactive. These variations can achieve better performance than state-of-the-art routing protocols by relying on a virtualization layer that transparently deals with the problems of mobility. With the aim of analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the new protocols, we have proposed a scenario of collaborative downloading in an urban center, where we prove our routing protocols by means simulations with different vehicle densities, looking at overhead, packet delivery ratios and end-to-end delays.
