Abstract
To provide reliable communications in Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANets), it is vital to take into account Quality of Services (QoS). Delay and packet loss are two main QoS parameters considered by congestion control strategies. In this paper, a Multi-Objective Tabu Search (MOTabu) strategy is proposed to control congestion in VANets. The proposed strategy is dynamic and distributed; it consists of two components: congestion detection and congestion control. In the congestion detection component, congestion situation is detected by measuring the channel usage level. In congestion control component, a MOTabu algorithm is used to tune transmission range and rate for both safety and non-safety massages by minimizing delay and jitter. The performance of the proposed strategy is then evaluated with highway and urban scenarios using five performance metrics including the number of packet loss, packet loss ratio, number of retransmissions, average delay, and throughput. Simulation results show that MOTabu strategy significantly outperforms in comparison with other strategies like CSMA/CA, D-FPAV, CABS, and so on. Conducting congestion control using our strategy can help provide more reliable environments in VANets.
