Comparison and Analysis of Greedy Forwarding Using Bngf Method in Different Vehicular Traffic Scenarios

A Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) is a most popular application of Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs). A lot of research work around the world is being conducted to design an efficient routing protocol for VANETs. In this paper, we examine the significance of Greedy Forwarding with Border Node based approach for VANETs. We propose a position based routing protocol to forward packet to the border nodes of the forwarding nodeas the next-hop node. This protocol is called Border Node based Greedy Forwarding (BNGF) since it uses border nodes with greedy forwarding. We categorize BNGF as BNGF-H for highway and BNGF-C for city traffic scenario. We have simulated this protocol using NS-2 simulator and evaluated the performance in terms of end-to-end delay and packet delivery ratio. We have compared both the methods for highway and city traffic scenarios. The results clearly show that the end-toend delay for BNGF-C is significantly lower and packet delivery ratio is higher than BNGF-H.
