Review and performance comparison of VANET protocols: AODV, DSR, OLSR, DYMO, DSDV & ZRP

TLDR: A fast review and comparative study of the adhoc routing protocols used in VANET and an endeavor has been made to compare six surely understood protocols AODV, DSR, OLSR, DSDV, ZRP and D SDV.

Abstract: In this paper a fast review and comparative study of the adhoc routing protocols used in VANET will be presented. The research filed in Vehicular adhoc network (VANET) is developing very fast. An extensive variety of utilizations has been served under various situation (Highway, urban, and Cities). Many protocols have been adopted to serve different topology and scenarios, these protocols faced various challenges. VANETs provide communication between vehicles moving on the roads. The routing protocols in VANET are affected by the vehicle high speed which leads to frequently link breaks between the communicated vehicles, so the adhoc routing protocols are adapted with the VANET characteristics to deliver the data between vehicles in short time. The main goal of VANET is to assemble a data system among vehicles that are moving on the roads, which enables the vehicles to communicate with each other for the safety manners. In this paper, an endeavor has been made to compare six surely understood protocols AODV, DSR, OLSR, DSDV, ZRP and DSDV. Used in VANET from the (packet deliver ratio, end to end delay, throughput, routing algorithm load, received packets, routing packets, dropped packets, ratio of packet loss, Average Jitter) point of view.
