An Efficacy of Transmission Power on DYMO Routing Protocol in VANET

A Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) is made up of groups of moving or stationary vehicles that are linked by a wireless network. It arose from the concept of creating an automobiles network to achieve a specific need or situation, such as Intelligent Transport System (ITS) and smart cities. VANET are now recognized as reliable network that vehicles are used for communication on highways and in cities. Basically, when the vehicles communicate with one another directly is known as Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V), or it can communicate with Infrastructure or a Road-side Unit (RSU so it is called Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) and Vehicle to Everything (V2X). This paper presents the evaluation of Dynamic MANET On-Demand (DYMO) routing protocol for a vehicular network with a single RSU in order to elaborate the influence of different transmission power values on QoS parameters. The simulation results are obtained using OMNeT++ with INET and Veins frameworks communicate with a SUMO traffic road simulator to implement DYMO. The findings depict a good foundation for researchers in evaluating the efficacy of transmission power of the vehicles on the QoS metrics of DYMO routing protocol in terms of packet delivery ratio, normalized routing load, throughput and packet loss ratio in a VANET environment.
