A Novel Survey on: Mobility Based Routing in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (Vanets)

Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANETs) is a derived version of Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANETs). They are on its own conFigure. d infrastructure-less network. They provide communication facility between vehicle to vehicle (VV) and vehicle to infrastructure (V-I). Vehicles follow different mobility patterns due to variations in speed. As vehicles have high mobility and dynamic topology; the tendency of change in mobility pattern is always a critical issue for VANETs. Many protocols have been proposed for solving mobility problems in VANETs. The proposed protocols have some merits and demerits on the basis of mobility and quality of service parameters. In a scenario one protocol outperforms than the other but the same protocol is not efficient in the other scenarios. In this paper a qualitative outlook of the protocols commonly used are shown and discussed.
