Comparison of AODV and DSR Routing Protocols by using Mobility Model in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network

Abstract

Vehicular ad hoc network is a type of network that provides the communications between vehicle and road side; vehicle and vehicle; and vehicle and infrastructure. VANET has new applications and features for travelers for providing vehicle related information for safety purpose that has never been possible in past. It is an application of MANET. In MANET the node is communicating with the base station. The present paper is mainly intended to compare the routing protocols for the improvement of network services by comparing them in terms of throughput and end to end delay by using Qualnet 6.1. The research work evaluates the performance of two protocols namely AODV and DSR to provide multihop routes from node to the server. All mobile nodes were randomly positioned in the network.Keywords: VANET, MANET, AODV, DSR, QUALNET
