Survey on Running Environment of VANET Comparison with Routing Protocols

Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) is a promising technology, which provides the comfort applications and enjoyable drive on the road. To provide safety and accountable network Quality of Service (QoS) parameters, it is essential to design routing protocols in which support VANET environment. Mobile adhoc Network (MANET) offered effective protocols and some of MANET protocols has been used for VANET. On the other hand, due to a special kind of simulation stationary is not suitable to take in use the same protocols of MANET for VANET. In this problem, it is needed to survey on running environment of VANET and compare the routing protocols. This paper is twofold, first, it describes the running environment of VANET which consists of environment such as, component, network pattern, and applications, techniques such as, Broadcast, Geocast and Unicast, and routing protocols such as, routing strategy and forwarding strategy. Second, it describes the routing protocols which have been proposed for VANET. The primary contribution of this survey on new routing protocols and provide the comparison of the routing protocols. The limitation of each routing protocol for VANET is provided which can be implied to researchers to mitigate the challenges of VANET routing protocols. Furthermore the discussion of open area is present in this paper. Copyright © 2015 Penerbit Akademia Baru All rights reserved.
