Improved maximum distance on-demand routing algorithm routing protocol for vehicular ad hoc network network in an urban environment

Abstract

Vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is a modern technology that has received great attention in the modern era due to daily road accidents. In VANET network it is difficult to design effective routing protocols due to the speed of movement of nodes and the rapid change in network architecture, and the purpose of routing protocols in the VANET network is to route data between vehicles (V2V), and between vehicles to infrastructure (V2I). Recently researchers have been interested in designing effective routing protocols for the VANET network because not all existing protocols are suitable for all traffic scenarios. Therefore, the focus of this paper will be on the maximum distance on-demand routing algorithm (MDORA) protocol and work on improving the protocol algorithm so that it is compatible with the urban environment. After that, the improved performance of the MDORA-without direction (MDORA-WD) protocol will be compared with the ad-hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV) protocol in terms of communication overhead, packet delivery ratio (PDR) and end to end (E2E) delay. The protocols will be simulated by MATLAB.
