EVALUATION OF ZONAL CONCEPT FOR VARIOUS MOBILITY MODELS OVER VANETs

CSE

Vehicular Ad hoc Networks are recent advancements in wireless network environment for the development of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). Mostly these networks find their applications built upon the data push communication model, in which information is disseminated to a particular set of vehicles. The applicability of VANET make it diverse and their potential communication systems need protocols that are systematic in nature. Performance of routing protocol is affected by mobility rate as well as mobility model used in the simulation. Mobility Models that are appropriate commonly categorized as either non-realistic or Semi-realistic. In this paper, we have proposed hybrid routing protocols namely Zonal protocol for different Zonal sizes to be compared to evaluate their performance in accordance with the various mobility models namely – Tactical Indoor Mobility Model , Random point Group model, Manhattan, Self-similar Least Action Walk and Gauss-Markov mobility model. CBR has been considered as traffic generator. Zonal size based evaluations are based on the simulation using ns2.
