Analysis of neighbour and isolated node of intersection area based geocasting protocol (IBGP) in VANET (1203.1981v1)

Abstract: Geocasting is a special variant of multicasting, where data packet or message is transmitted to a predefined geographical location i.e., known as geocast region. The applications of geocasting in VANET are to disseminate information like, collision warning, advertising, alerts message, etc. In this paper, we have proposed a model for highway scenario where the highway is divided into number of cells. The intersection area between two successive cells is computed to find the number of common nodes. Therefore, probabilistic analysis of the nodes present and void occurrence in the intersection area is carried out. Further, we have defined different forwarding zones to restrict the number of participated nodes for data delivery. Number of nodes present and void occurrence in the different forwarding zones have also been analysed based on various node density in the network to determine the successful delivery of data. Our analytical results show that in a densely populated network, data can be transmitted with low radio transmission range. In a densely populated network smaller forwarding zones will be selected for data delivery.
