Providing more reliable and efficient on demand routing protocol is one of the main challenges in these networks research scope. This paper argues a compressed fuzzy logic based method to enhance Ad hoc on demand distance vector (AODV) routing decision by jointly considering number of relays, distance factor, direction angle, and vehicles speed variance. The proposed scheme is simulated in both freeway and urban scenarios with different number of vehicles using real time interaction between both OMNet and SUMO simulators. Simulation results show that the proposed approach can get better performance in terms of packet delivery ratio, throughput, mean delay, and number of sent control Received Jan 28, 2018 Revised Aug 31, 2018 Accepted Sep 13, 2018 Keywords: AODV routing protocol compressed fuzzy logic Real world traffic simulation VANET Copyright A 2019 Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science.

INTRODUCTION Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) . is a challenging subclass of Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET), where vehicles are equipped with wireless transceiver and GPS receiver, sensors to measure required parameters, and central processing unit which run various protocols to form a wireless network of vehicles that are distributed and self-organized. Unlike MANET. VANET is restricted by road direction, traffic, and traffic regulation. furthermore, vehicles move at high speeds causing higher dynamic topology, and frequent disconnected network. These special characteristics make routing in VANET is one of the major issues in research topic, some of these works are: Abdelgader et. evaluate the performance of DSR. AODV, and DSDV routing protocols in city scenario. Wu et. use fuzzy logic to evaluate each direct link in AODV routing considering multiple factors of bandwidth, mobility, and signal strength. Lin et. propose fuzzy model based routing to decide network connectivity of road segment considering vehicle density and average velocity. Kadivar et. introduce a fuzzy logic based DSR routing protocol to select the most stable route considering distance and degree of variation in the speed of the driver. Chang et. suggest distance based routing protocol in urban environment that take into account packet collision avoidance in the intersection and route decision depending on adaptive waiting time. However, it is important to observe that the proposed schemes presented in the related works are mostly focused on only two or three factors in their In this work, an improved AODV routing protocol . is proposed considering a new combination of attractive significant factors regard number of relay nodes, distance in related to transmission range, angle of movement, and speed variance as inputs to a compressed fuzzy system to solve impression and conflict between these proposed metrics. Journal homepage: http://iaescore. com/journals/index. php/IJECE A ISSN: 2088-8708 In spite of the great efficient of using the conventional fuzzy system in numerous applications . that deal with impression and uncertainty, as the number of fuzzy inputs increased, the number of fuzzy rules and fuzzy operations are also increased in an exponential manner . , . Many efforts have been devoted to deal with above-mentioned fuzzy complexity problem. Some of the proposed methods based on removing or merging of fuzzy rules which might cause information loss or aggregation, and others interested on decomposing the fuzzy system into subsystems and multilayer hierarchical structure which might suffer from poor interaction of actually inputs . Gegov et. introduced a compressed fuzzy rule based system . , . that remove all redundant on line fuzzy operations without affecting the fuzzy output. Although this proposed compressed fuzzy methods has proven a significant reduction in fuzzy system operations as compared with conventional and hierarchical fuzzy systems, it can be notice that only a few researches have been used this method, and the present work is the first one that apply this method in computer network field, and VANET environment to reduce processing time and complexity of adding a fuzzy system. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY The AODV routing protocol is modified in such a manner that it can select the appropriate route for data packet using compressed fuzzy logic that join multiple criteria: Number of relay vehicles in the path. Inter vehicle distance in related to vehicle transmission range. Movement speed variance between any two successive vehicles in the path. Angle of direction of any vehicle in the path with respect to destination direction. Apart from these applied fuzzy system inputs, the key idea behind the method of compressed fuzzy system is represented by arranging the fuzzy rules into groups. each group contains the rules with identical linguistic variable for the output, thereafter determine the dominant rule that have the maximal firing strength in each group and remove all other rules. As a result, the number of rules will be equal to the number of linguistic variables of the output, so only six rules from eighty one rules remains after fuzzification in our designed system. This leads to a substantial reduction of fuzzy inference online computations, which guarantee a betterment by about ten times over the conventional system and by about three and a half times over the hierarchical system . , . SIMULATION SCENARIO Bidirectional coupling of traffic simulator: Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO) and network simulator: Objective Modular Network Testbed in C (OMNeT ) at runtime were used for online reconfiguration and rerouting of cars in reaction to network simulator. The required files for building three different maps to be used in our simulation were generated using the provided commands in SUMO, where openstreetmap website was used to download the second and third map for more realistic simulation: Simple Map: Consist of six vertical streets each of 2 lanes, 2 km in length. intersect with three horizontal streets each of 2 lanes, 2. 5 km. City Scenario: 3Km by 3Km from Basra City Map. Highway Scenario: 3Km by 3km from I 95 Map. Network simulation parameters were specified using OMNeT , where 100, 200, and 300 vehicles were tested for each map with TraCI mobility model. Ie 802. 11p was used as a medium access control protocol. UDP data traffic with packet size of 512B was used, and each simulation was executed for 1000 seconds of simulation time. SIMULATION RESULTS The above proposed scheme (Comp-FAODV Routin. has been implemented and compared with another three protocols: . conventional AODV routing protocol. Fuzzy Logic Routing Based on forwarding optimization (FLRBF): a new scheme . that depends mainly on fuzzifying two factors regard distance and time delay that is calculated through the information of location, transmission range, and and finally with another implemented protocol .

VANET simulation and required tools to simulate two urban and one freeway scenarios are built, two of them are real maps of Basra city and i95 highway. Furthermore, two fuzzy multi criteria based methods for AODV routing decision are proposed and carried out on these maps. the first one investigates three effective factors in VANET environment regards number of relay nodes, distance with respect to transmission range, and speed of movement of vehicles. The second method extends the first proposed system to adopt an additional factor of vehicleAos direction. moreover, the proposed fuzzy system is compressed to reduce computations complexity of considering many factors. Simulation results demonstrated the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed schemes. Future works may consider other possible intelligent techniques. REFERENCES
