Performance Analysis of Stationary and Moving V2V Communications Using NS3

Vehicle-to-vehicle communication is prime focus of major studies concerning road safety as it can ensue an efficient traffic flow with fewer accidents. It is expected to exhibit a flexible routing method as vehicles enter and leave rapidly. Both proactive and reactive modes are used in hybrid wireless mesh protocol; thus, it is expected to give optimum results. To analyse that, in this paper, we have used IEEE 802.11p and IEEE 802.11s for static and moving vehicles working under mesh topology. The performance evaluation is accomplished by simulation on network simulator 3 (NS-3) followed by visualizing the model on NetAnim and measuring the performance of network protocols in FlowMonitor. Throughput, packet delivery function (PDF) and packet sizes are parameters that have been evaluated.
