A location-based routing algorithm for vehicle to vehicle communication

We present a location-based routing algorithm with cluster-based flooding for vehicle to vehicle communication. We consider a motorway environment with associated high mobility and contrast and compare position-based and non-position-based routing strategies, along with a limiting function for flood mechanisms in reactive ad-hoc protocols. The performance of dynamic source routing (DSR) and ad-hoc on-demand distance vector routing (AODV) for non-positional and location routing algorithm with cluster-based flooding (LORA_CBF) for positional algorithms are considered. Our proposed flooding limiting technique is compared with AODV and DSR by simulation. The mobility of the vehicles on a motorway using a microscopic traffic model developed in OPNET has been used to evaluate average route discovery (RD) time, end-to-end delay (EED), routing load, routing overhead, overhead, and delivery ratio.
