Jagadeesh Kakarla, S Siva Sathya, B Govinda Laxmiand, Ramesh Babu B . A Survey on Routing Protocols and its Issues in VANET. International Journal of Computer Applications. 28, 4 ( August 2011), 38-44. DOI=10.5120/3373-4663
Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) offer a vast number of applications without any support from fixed infrastructure. These applications forward messages in a multi-hop fashion. Designing an efficient routing protocol for all VANET applications is very hard. Hence a survey on routing protocols based on various parameters of VANET is a necessary issue in vehicle-to- vehicle (V2V) and infrastructure-to- vehicle (IVC) communication. This paper gives a brief overview of different routing algorithms in VANET along with major classifications. The protocols are also compared based on their essential characteristics and tabulated.
