Pankaj Joshi, Jaswinder Kaur, Inderjeet Singh Gill . Heterogeneous Configuration: A Better Approach to Analyze VANET. International Journal of Computer Applications. 118, 19 ( May 2015), 26-30. DOI=10.5120/20854-3577
A Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) is an area of wireless technologies that has the property of high node mobility and dynamic topology. In this paper we focus on technology which has major role in avoiding accidents using homogeneous and heterogeneous configurations in different VANET scenarios. For this purpose OMNET++ and VEINS (Vehicles in Network Simulation) is used as the developing platform. Simulation shows that heterogeneous configuration achieve better performance than homogeneous configuration when compared in four different node densities i. e. 20, 30, 40 and 50 nodes in terms of back off time, sent packet, lost packet and busy time.
