Abstract

Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANET) are important Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communication systems where vehicles are communicated by broadcasting and delivering transmission scheme and traffic information to each other. Due to both high mobility and high dynamic network topology, congestion control needs to be executed in a distributed way. Optimizing the congestion control in terms of percentage for delay, packet delivery ratio (PDR), and throughput could minimize the traffic packet transmissions. These have not been studied thoroughly so far—but this attribute will be essential for VANET applications and network performance. This paper presents a novel technique for congestion control and packet forwarding through Service Control Channel (SCH) channels in VANET. The Taguchi method has been applied in getting the optimize set of parameter for congestion control in highway scenario. This concept reduces the unnecessary traffic information and reduces the possibility of congestion in network based on performance metrics for delay, PDR, and throughput. The proposed technique performance is measured with the normal VANET scenario in V2I communication in highway driving conditions and the simulation results show that the performance of proposed scheme provides the better performance and improves the network performance with efficient bandwidth utilization.
