VANET Routing Protocols in Real-World Mobility Tracing

Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) have drawn the attention of the researcher and erects an auspicious research interest. Applying routing protocols in VANET has become challenging as VANET has unique and dynamic properties and the mobility of nodes. In this work, the routing protocols for VANET's (AODV, DSDV, DSR, and OLSR) are applied in Real-World mobility tracing and their performance is analyzed on packet receive, packet receives rate, Packet loss ratio, and packet delivery ratio. This Real-World Vehicular Mobility is traced from a part of Dhaka city, Bangladesh. The simulation is done by SUMO and NS3 simulators. As a propagation loss model in this simulation, Two Ray Ground and Friis Propagation loss models are considered. When the Friis propagation loss model is applied in the simulation environment along with the real-world vehicular mobility, it results in that routing protocols especially OLSR achieves a good value of receives rate and packet received. In the case of PDR, almost all the routing protocols have a good value. Among these routing protocols, AODV has performed best and achieved an excellent level of PDR. On the other hand, in the Two Ray Ground propagation loss model, almost all the routing protocols have a very low value of packet loss ratio excepts AODV.
