BNSR: Border Node preferred Social Ranking based Routing Protocol for VANETs

Abstract

Border Node preferred Social Ranking based Routing Protocol (BNSR) is present in this paper which is the expansion of the BMFR routing protocol. Routing strategy of BNSR follows the position based routing by using any location services such as GPS system and forwarding strategy follows the prominence of border node based forwarding to shrivel the delay and optimize the path length. BNSR considers the concept of social ranking which is a parameter of CODO (continuous opinion dynamic optimization) technique on which basis the next hop border node is selected. The protocol is simulated with NS2 simulator and results shows the algorithm works well and produces better packet delivery ratio (PDR) and minimum end-to-end delay. When compared with BMFR protocol the consequence of purposed protocol is much better and much efficient in VANETs. We are the first to acquaint the concept of social ranking in selecting the next hop border nodes in the best of our knowledge.
