Performance Analysis of Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks Handovers with Metaheuristic Algorithms: A Review

VEHICULAR ad hoc networks (VANETs) are the self-configuring networks where the nodes are vehicles (equipped with on-board computers), elements of roadside infrastructure, sensors, and pedestrian personal devices. In the current state of the art in this field there is a need of studies on real outdoor experiments to validate the new VANETs optimizing protocols and applications. Thus exchanging up-to-date information among vehicles is the most salient feature of a VANET. In order to do so, the packets have to travel through the network from one node to the others & thus give rise to concept of inter VANET data handovers & VDTP (Vehicular data transfer Protocol). In this work, we have addressed the utility of metaheuristic algorithms (PSO,GA) for inter VANET sensor data handovers in order to study the performance analysis to maximize the throughput & reliability improvement in real VANET.
