QoS Swarm Bee Routing Protocol for Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks

Abstract

Research and industries are recently more interesting and attracting to the Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) development domain. They contribute to safer and more efficient roads by providing timely and accuracy information to drivers and authorities. Thus, the definition of a quality of service routing protocol for VANETs is one of their challenges. In this paper, we propose QoSBeeVanet, a new quality of service multipath routing protocol adapted for the vehicular ad hoc networks. It is based on ideas of the autonomic bee communication. Simulation results taken with NS2 in realist urban settings were shown that QoSBeeVanet outperforms DSDV and AODV two of the current state-of-the-art protocols, in terms of end-to-end delay, packet delivery ratio, and normalized overhead load.
