A Novel Approach to Reduce Routing Traffic in Vechicular Ad-hoc Network

Abstract

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) differ from usual mobile ad-hoc networks
(MANETs) in many different aspects. First, VANETs consist of mostly highly mobile nodes
moving in the same or opposite directions. Second, the network shape can be best described by a
one-dimensional line (for a single-lane road) or a strip (for a multilane road) rather than a square
shape.
One of the most important routing protocols used in Ad hoc networks is AODV. It
always exchanges control packets between neighbor nodes for routing. For reduction of control
overheads and bandwidth consumption in AODV. We make an improvement on AODV and
propose a novel approach. In proposed novel approach, we are reducing traffic control packets
i.e. routing traffic and improve network efficiency. A novel approach is also analyzed in terms of
routing overhead, end-to-end delay and throughput for varying node density i.e. 25, 50, 75, and
100 no. of nodes and compared with simple AODV routing protocol.
