581Performance Evaluation of Realistic Vehicular Networks
Up to now, we have introduced background information about vehicular networks and some
proposed MAC layer protocols for vehicular environments. In the following sections, we rst dene
the simulation settings and the generated trafc loads in our scenarios. Then, we evaluate the per-
formance of the aforementioned MAC protocols in the proposed vehicular scenarios.
21.4 SIMULATION REQUIREMENTS
This section introduces briey the OMNeT++ network simulator, stating how it must be congured
in order to be used for vehicular network simulation. Then, trafc simulation methods and the
SUMO trafc simulator are presented. Finally, we illustrate how to connect these two simulators to
achieve a ...
