Thesis Title: Simulation of Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANET) for High Speed Vehicles In my master’s research thesis, the main emphasis is on the new IEEE 802.11p enhancement of MAC and PHY layers. More specifically, the target of this thesis was to setup a simulation environment (IT Guru® modeler) which allowed us to test the quality of a voice transmission, using IEEE 802.11p (WAVE) enhance setting, in a single hop and multihop environment. Also the transmissions between mobile nodes were tested by simply sending and receiving FTP file with varying speed. The IEEE 802.11p protocol was used for the first time in simulation; the outcome was quite satisfactory for high speed vehicles. The research tries to prove that this new protocol IEEE 802.11p is a good replacement of WIFI Courses Studied: System Security, Computer Systems and Networks, Network Monitoring , Network Security, Network Simulation, Mobile Personal and Satellite Communications, Multimedia Communications Network, Personal and Professional Skills, Research Skills and Project Development
