Abstract

Abstract: Routing mechanism plays an important role in the performances of Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANET). Hence, various routing mechanisms are proposed to enhance VANET performances, however few researches are dedicated to optimize these routing mechanisms. In this paper an optimization mechanism is proposed to improve the performances of Greedy Perimeter stateless Routing (GPSR) protocol. Design of Experiments is used along with Taguchi Optimization method to fine tune GPSR internal routing parameters against VANET network scenarios. The target of optimization in this work is set to network performances including network throughput, delay and packet delivery ration (PDR). These targets are mathematically combined to form a single optimization target. A simulation experiments are performed to evaluate VANET performances. Obtained results showed that the proposed optimization improves the VANET performances in terms of throughput, PDR and delay. Further real-time integration of Optimization and routing mechanism can improve network performances.
