Transmit Data Rate Control Based Decentralized Congestion Control Mechanism for VANETs

Vehicular Ad Hoc Networking (VANET)technology is becoming prominent in this era. It is defined to improve on-road conditions and provide safety and different entertainment applications to end users in orderly and efficient manner. The idea of making everything connected in Internet of things (IoT)has evolved as a promising networking system and VANETs are one of the components of it. In this paper, we present a multistate active transmit data rate control based decentralized congestion control mechanism. The real world scenario generated from SUMO is considered for simulation. Simulation results show that, data rate control mechanism performs better over transmit power control and without adaptation mechanisms.
