Delay Tolerant and Multipath Reliability for Energy Efficient Heterogeneous VANETs Network

Vehicular Adhoc Networks (VANETs) provide communication among vehicles to build smart cities using Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). In this paper, we proposed Delay Tolerant and Multipath Reliability (DTMR) in VANETs. The simulation of the DTMR method is performed using OMNet++ network simulator with Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO). The parameters which are considered for the performance analysis are end-to-end delay, data failure rate, data success rate and throughput. The results show that the DTMR method produces 85ms lower end-to-end delay, 13% lower data failure rate, 93 % higher data success rate and 614 Kbps higher throughput. The proposed DTMR method has better overall performance than the ISFF and VDPR methods.
