Abstract:
Considered as a primordial component of Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS), Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) plays a weighty role to facilitate different on-road applications, most of which primary rely on multi hop communications. To ensure reliability and security of such communication, it is very pertinent to guarantee that the most proper and trustworthy vehicles are selected as relays. This paper takes up this challenge by introducing a weighted probabilistic and trust-aware strategy called WeiSTARS, to ensure high delivery ratios within reduced delays. Simulation results conducted using NS2 tool depicted that our technique enhances the delivery ratio by more than 8% with around 30% less delay compared to both GytAR and GPSR routing protocols even in the presence of high ratios of dishonest vehicles.
