VANets: An Exploratory Evaluation in Vehicular Ad Hoc Network for Urban Environment

Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) is a promising communication technology suitable for vehicular mobile networks. Represent networks of singular features, wherein the data dissemination is fundamental. The literature is plentiful in protocols, usually specific to address individual issues in well-defined scenarios. This work efforts are concentrated, mainly, to examine operating settings in protocols like AID, DBRS, and ADDHV for disseminating messages. A benchmarking explores strategies that address challenges such as network partitioning and the broadcast storm problem, which undertake the dissemination. The results of a set of metrics obtained in different vehicular traffic schemes complete the discussion held. Considerations for answers in coverage, delay, rate of delivery, broadcast, and packet loss support this initiative and motivate the development of an adaptive solution to fluctuations in carrier density.
