A new sub-category of MANET is vehicular ad hoc network where vehicles communicate with each other. Because of constraint roads and very high speed of vehicles, routing is an issue in VANET. Most of the papers analyzed the performance of topology based routing protocols. This paper analyzed the performance of distance-effect routing algorithm for mobility (DREAM) and location aided routing (LAR) location-based protocols for city and highway vehicular environment. Metrics for analysis of performance like PDR, routing overhead, delay, throughput and lost packet ratio are evaluated using ns2 with IEEE802.11p. The simulation results are analyzed using AWK programming script.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
