AN INTELLIGENT MOVEMENT-BASED ROUTING FOR VANET.

Vehicular Ad hoc NETworks (VANETs) are a special case of Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs), with high nodes mobility specification, and a large energy resource which could extend coverage and system lifetime. Frequent topology changes let VANETs have particular research interests, like dedicated medium access control and routing optimization. In previous works, the MOvement Prediction-based Routing (MOPR) was proposed for VANETs, which improves the routing process by selecting the most stable route with respect tothe movement of the vehicles. In this paper, further MOPR optimizations are presented like the reduction of its overhead (bandwidth optimization) and its implementation and performance evaluation with the NS2 AODV-UU implementation.
