Novel approach to improvise congestion control over vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET)

Time has come where the communication is not just limited to only amongst humans. Now, the era has come where dreams of communicating vehicles is becoming the reality. Increasing demand of VANET implementation in car to car communication has resulted in congestion in handling multiple request and response among communicating and transiting vehicles. In addition to that, one to one congestion control needs to be addressed at each VANET node due to highly volatile traffic and frequently changing topology of the network. This paper presents a unique technique to control congestion over Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks using simple techniques of early detection of congestion. Further, researchers of this paper analyzed congestion control algorithm by implementing it on real time scenario over the simulation environment of SUMO, MOVE and NS2 to investigate the efficiency and probable improvements in the congestion.
