Performance Analysis of Ad Hoc Routing Protocols for Various Battery Model in VANET using QUALNET

VANET (Vehicular Adhoc Network) is a technology that used moving objects as nodes in a network to create a mobile or cellular network. VANET turns every participating car into a wireless router or node, allowing cars approximately 100 to 300 meters of each other to connect and, in turn, create a network with a wide range. In this paper we review different Ad-hoc routing Protocol, Reactive, Proactive and Hybrid Protocol in to consideration different VANET constraint like height, speed, etc. in genuine traffic scenario and measurement under various battery models for energy conservation. Reactive (AODV) and Proactive (OLSR) and Hybrid (ZRP) Protocols are evaluated for battery models such as, Duracell AA (MX-1500), Duracell AAA (MN-2400), Duracell AAA (MX-2400), Panasonic AA, and Panasonic AAA, using Qualnet Simulator. Energy Consumption and conservation are hot topics for research these days under the category of WSN and VANET. On the basis of our simulations, we analyze the residual battery charge and these results can be taken for the selection of optimum battery and routing protocol for VANET.
