Abstract

In recent years, the issue of Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET) has received great attention, and more and more VANET-related researches have been brought up. Generally speaking, the biggest difference between VANET and traditional Ad-Hoc is the velocity of carriers because in VANET, the velocity of vehicles the carriers is much higher than that of the carriers in traditional Ad-Hoc. Furthermore, it would be a great challenge to forward data efficiently in VANETs. Thus, many researches proposed have focused on the development of Routing Protocols. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate Geographic Position-Based Routing Protocol, which needs Global Position System (GPS) to obtain the positions of vehicles and to enhance the decision-making of data delivery. Therefore, only partial topology information is needed during the decision-making of data delivery for the routing protocol to have better adaptability in high-speed network topology. This paper aims to improve Greedy Perimeter Stateless Routing (GPSR) Protocol and implement our proposed scheme into a complex scenario like urban area. For this reason, with the concept of vector, greedy forwarding mode of GPSR not only concerns the distance to enhance the accuracy of routing data while choosing the next hop, but also, in terms of the intersections in urban area, adds a predictive mode to predict the motions of vehicles at the intersections to improve the efficiency of routing protocol.
