TAD-HOC Routing Protocol for Efficient VANET and Infrastructure-Oriented Communication Network

Abstract EN

Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) is a critical factor for Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANET).

Even though VANET belongs to the class of Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET), none of the MANET routing protocol applies to VANET.

VANET network is dynamic, due to increased vehicle speed and mobility.

Vehicle mobility of VANET affects conventional routing algorithm performance, which deals with the dynamicity of the network node.

The evaluation of the existing research stated that Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) is an effective MANET protocol to adopt network changes for significant resource utilization and also provides effective adaptation in the network change.

Due to the effective performance of the AODV protocol, it is considered as an effective routing protocol for VANET.

This paper proposed an ad hoc TROPHY (TAD-HOC) routing protocol for the VANET network for increasing efficiency and effective resource utilization of the network.

To improve the overall performance, ad hoc network is combined with Trustworthy VANET ROuting with grouP autHentication keYs (TROPHY) protocol.

The proposed TAD-HOC protocol transmits data based on time demand in the VANET network with the desired authentication.

Results of the proposed approach show the increased performance of the VANET network with packet delay, transmission range, and end-to-end delay.

The comparative analysis of the proposed approach with I-AODV, AODV-R, and AODV-L shows that the proposed TAD-HOC exhibited effective performance.
