  • Abstract
    Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) is a special case of Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) with two key differences which are the high and constrained mobility of its nodes. Because of this high mobility, the topology of VANET is considered so dynamic. As a reason of this highly dynamic topology, the link breakages in these networks are something common. This problem causes high data loss and delay. In order to decrease these problems, the idea of link breakage prediction has appeared to deal with this phenomenon in MANET. This idea has proved to be successful to enhance the performance of routing protocols in MANET, but till now it did not be applied to the area of VANET. In this paper the idea of link breakage prediction was used to enhance the performance of the well known Dynamic Source Routing protocol (DSR) in VANET by applying a new mechanism which includes replacing the whole effected route (Not only the effected link). This new mechanism was able to decrease the packet loss and delay that occur in the original protocol.
