Abstract

Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) is quite different from other ad hoc networks in term of functionality because of the variable node density, high node mobility, and unpredictable and harsh communication environment. There are two major application VANETs, namely safety applications and non-safety applications. Network optimization is one way to maintain the existing protocols and other network parameter rather than costly efforts for design and implementing new improved protocols. Motivated with the reasons to save effort of time and cost this paper presents the validation of optimized vehicular network for throughput, average delay and packet delivery ratio using Taguchi method. Highway scenario is chosen as the evaluation condition for this paper.  From the performance evaluated the performance of optimized setting gives better results than non-optimized setting for both safety and non-safety applications.  It is proved that Taguchi Method is applicable to optimize vehicular ad hoc network.
