Traffic analysis for VANET using WAVE and WiMAX

Abstract

In recent years, the immense and ubiquitous coverage area of vehicular network is growing very frequently as the computational power and deployment of modern vehicle's wireless connectivity and their service facilities are raised. VANET (Vehicular Ad hoc Network) have become an orientation to the researchers and users both for inventive utilization of wide range of safety and non-safety applications provided by this network. It has many issues and challenges for perpetuating the efficiency of the vehicular network in terms of throughput, packet loss and jitter/delay. In this paper, implementation of two different scenarios of vehicular environment with mobile IP using WAVE (Wireless Access in Vehicular Environment or IEEE 802.11p) and WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access IEEE 802.16e) technologies is done, for calculating the delay for different packet length over base station. NCTUns simulator is used for simulation.
