A Review of Congestion Control Techniques in VANET

  Somil Nema,  Dr. Sandeep Harit

The problem of congestion in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network is a widely researched problem and draws attention of many researchers in recent years. Many effective algorithms have been proposed and implemented by the researchers and their merits and demerits have been discussed. The challenge lies in developing an algorithm which can effectively transfer the message between base stations and the vehicles. The paper presented gives an overview of the techniques used to solve the problem of message passing from one vehicle to the other such that the packet loss must be reduced. This paper also presents a comprehensive review of the various techniques and the advantages and challenges of those techniques. Finally the paper ends with the brief discussion about the optimal route calculation strategies for the vehicles which needs to be explored further.
