EVALUATION OF ROUTING METHODOLOGIES OVER REAL VANETS SCENARIOS

VANETs are becoming the biggest potential for communication among cars. The industry and academia have turned on the researchers to this subject. Routing protocol is the main issue in these networks. The need for routing protocol that achieves the performance, required in the vehicular environment, have gained a lot of proposals, focusing in many routing methodologies with no study in which is the best for VANETs. To face this problem an evaluation of such methodologies are presented in this paper. Real scenarios were chosen to try to show the best routing methodology for VANETs. In this paper the topological methodologies evaluated are: reactive, pro-active and architecture. The real scenarios are the urban and road environment of the Malaga city. The third scenario is the Manhattan Mobility Model. All scenarios have 30 nodes and the velocity of cars are between five and 30 m/s First an effect analysis of all evaluated protocols is made with the ANOVA statistical test. The differences of performance are checked with a graphical analysis. The results show that the architecture methodology is the most indicated for the design of new VANET routing protocols.
