Shadowing-Fading-based Intersection Geographic Opportunistic Routing Protocol for Urban VANETs

In vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs), the presence of obstacles such as buildings and trees cause shadowing and fading, which interfere with the propagation of radio waves. Despite this, most of the existing opportunistic routing protocols do not consider shadowing in their simulations, which may lead to an overestimation of VANET performance. To solve this problem, our proposed routing protocol ...
