Movement Prediction-Based Routing (MOPR) Concept for Position-Based Routing in Vehicular Networks

Abstract

Abstract-Nowadays, researchers show more and more interests to Vehicular Ad hoc NETworks (VANETs), which are a specific instance of Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) where nodes are vehicles. In VANETs, vehicles have no energy resource constraint which could extend coverage and network lifetime, but have a high mobility patterns that cause frequent and fast topology changes. Consequently, VANETs have particular research interests, like dedicated MAC and routing optimization. In our previous work, we have proposed MOvement Predictionbased Routing (MOPR) concept for VANETs, which improves the routing process by selecting the most stable route in terms of lifetime with respect to the movement of vehicles. And in this paper, we present how this MOPR concept can be applied to position-based routing protocols, and how it improves their performances. Based on simulation results we compare MOPR with the position-based routing protocol GPSR and another movement-based routing protocol called MORA.

CLWPR — A novel cross-layer optimized position based routing protocol for VANETs

“…These nodes are responsible for the topology broadcasting contrary to the original OLSR where all nodes were broadcasting topology information. MOPR [26] on the other hand uses movement information available at the MAC layer to predict the future positions of the relay nodes and calculate the "link stability" based on which the forwarding selection will be performed. Since this is MAC layer information, the upper network layer could be either a topological protocol or a geographical.…”

Reliability-based server selection for heterogeneous VANETs

“…In [19], Euclidean distance information is utilized to estimate future trajectory. It seems that by using relative mobility between nodes and digital map information together, future estimations can become more precise [21]. A method to calculate the probability of turns in road intersections is proposed in [22], based on the theory that turning options that lead to more destinations in shorter times are more popular than those that lead to local areas or take more time to reach destinations.…”

Behavior of Position based Routing in VANET

“…In VANET the nodes have high mobility so the change in topology is also very fast [11]- [14]. In PBR to make the routing decisions, the nodes use the geographical information [12]- [13]- [14].…”
