Performance Evaluation of LAR under Highway and City Scenarios

Abstract

ehicular ad-hoc networks have gained immense popularity as a research domain as more and more vehicles interact with each other to communicate information. This paper is aimed at evaluating the performance of Location Aided routing protocol (LAR) for Vehicular Ad-hoc networks (VANETs) using NS2 and SUMO. This protocol is evaluated under highway and city scenarios obtained from Open Street Map (OSM) and Bologna Ringway dataset respectively. The performance metrics considered for these scenarios are throughput, packet delivery ratio (PDR), routing overhead. The above mentioned parameters are calculated by varying the simulation time and number of vehicles. The results obtained are graphically plotted and analyzed.
