متریک پیش بینی کیفیت لینک برای پروتکل های مسیریابی مبتنی بر مکان تحت سایه و اثرات محو شدن در شبکه های ad hoc وسایل نقلیه ☆

The location-based routing protocol has been chosen as one of the efficient routing approaches in vehicular ad hoc networks in terms of low overhead and high scalability. Its critical advantage lies in performing a pathless routing such that a node having a packet forwards it to its neighbor node that provides the shortest physical distance to destination and this process continues until the packet reaches destination. The problem lies in that the link stability of the neighbors varies largely depending on the mobility of vehicles and the environmental factors that incur shadowing and fading effects. In this paper, we propose a new link quality prediction metric associated with location based protocols to improve the selection of next hop, that consider both the link quality assessment based on the transmission success rate and the link quality assessment based on the prediction of the future locations of vehicles. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed metric.
