Estudo do impacto dos modelos de propagação no desempenho de protocolos ad hoc em um ambiente VANET urbano

Abstract

Different studies evaluated the performance of Ad hoc routing protocols for vehicular networks. However, most of them are not realistic because on propagation models are used simple propagation models for vehicular networks on urban environment, which limits the accuracy of the results. The objective of this study is to compare the performance impact of Ad hoc routing protocols (including AODV, DSR, DYMO and OLSR) under different propagation models (including Free Space, Two Ray Ground, Nakagami and Log Normal Shadowing) with real parameters values in an existing urban map. The scenarios and parameters of the simulations were developed in Omnet++ and SUMO simulators. The evaluation metrics were the average end-to-end delay and the package delivery rate. The results showed that the behavior of protocols varies widely depending on the model used (complex or simple model). The contribution of this work concerns the configuration and evaluation of a real vehicular scenario in an urban environment, to be the basis of future studies to allow them know the response of these routing protocols in different propagation models.
