Abstract

A Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) is a wireless ad hoc network that is formed between vehicles on an on demand basis. In VANETs all the vehicles (nodes) are used as routers and these routers are free to move randomly and organized themselves arbitrarily. A lot of research work around the world is being conducted to design an efficient routing protocol for VANETs. In this paper, we propose a new routing method known as Peripheral node based GEographic DIstance Routing (P-GEDIR), a position-based routing protocol that takes advantage of GEographic DIstance Routing (GEDIR). It may not be possible to find node at the extreme end of the transmission range. Therefore, we have considered an area around the extreme end of the transmission range. Further a mathematical model for the protocol has been designed to determine expected number of successful hops, expected distance to the next-hop node, and expected one-hop progress. The protocol has been simulated using MATLAB. In this work, results clearly show that using the peripheral node is an advantage to maximize the performance of routing protocol in terms of average number of successful hops and expected one-hop progress. The result of P-GEDIR is compared with the existing GEDIR protocol.
