Study on communication reliability in VANETs

Connected vehicles have become an emerging topic in the technology communities. With the increasing urban population, it is essential to have an approach for managing and simplifying the technology services for the citizens. Radio propagation plays an essential role in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANET) connectivity. Performance of these wireless technologies depends on the nature of the channel environment and on the type of VANETs equipment. Therefore they require to have efficient mechanisms for all the aspects related to reliability. The major objective of this work is to investigate the packet success rate in the existing technologies of VANETs by giving a more realistic characterization of the traffic scenario and radio models.
