NS2 Simulator Examples for Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) with Tutorials for Beginners

NS2 (Network Simulator 2) examples and tutorials for Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs), helping beginners and researchers simulate vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication. Covering key concepts such as mobility models, VANET routing protocols (AODV, DSR, GPSR), traffic simulation, and performance evaluation, it offers step-by-step instructions for setting up VANET scenarios in NS2.

IEEE 802.11p protocol designed for VANET is available in NS2. A Nakagami radio propagation model that is suitable to VANET is also available in NS2.

With hands-on source code and real-world examples, this resource helps users analyze network performance metrics like delay, throughput, and packet delivery ratio in VANET environments. Whether you're a student or researcher, this tutorial equips you with the skills to model and simulate VANETs effectively using NS2.
