Multicast Routing for Path Establishment in Vehicular Ad Hoc Network

Abstract

Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) is a network that consists of several vehicular nodes which can enter or exit the network freely. It is challenging task to set up a secure and efficient route amid the source node and the destination node due to the higher mobility of vehicles within VANETs. Two components such as least hop count and the sequence number are considered to select the path between source and destination. This path is established using the multicasting method in this research work. The data is routed for selecting the root nodes from the network in this multicasting method. By the means of root node, the path is selected amid source and destination. The projected method is deployed on NS2 and the analytic outcomes are obtained in the evaluation of certain parametric values. Keywords VANET, Broadcasting, Multicasting, LAR
