An Approach to Control Congestion Using Vanets (Vehicular Adhoc Network)

Manjari Dahiya, Meenakshi Moza

Abstract: Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANET) plays an important role in future car to car communication systems and related applications like Self Organizing Traffic Information System. Congestion control for VANETs has not been studied thoroughly so far but this feature will be extremely necessary for VANET applications and network performance. To cope up with the issue, the paper presents a transmission power based congestion control algorithm. The results are simulated using ns-2 in two different scenario, namely, city and highway scenario.

Keywords: VANETs, DSRC, Congestion control, transmission power
