Jhilam Biswas, Shreya Singh . Study of Routing Protocols for Vehicular Ad hoc Network. International Journal of Computer Applications. 92, 5 ( April 2014), 31-35. DOI=10.5120/16006-5016
The vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is an emerging new technology. Developing multi-hop routing protocols for urban VANETs is a challenging task. VANETs are a kind of Wireless ad hoc network that usually has a routable networking environment on top of a Link Layer ad hoc network. In this paper, we first analyze the unique features of urban VANET and then we move on to discuss the various VANET routing protocols which already have been proposed. We also analyze and compare the various protocols based on some common parameters.
