The routing protocols in VANETs are important and necessary issue. The difference between Keywords--- MANET, VANET, Routing, Protocol VANET and MANET is the mobility pattern and rapidly changing topology. MANETs routing protocols are not effectively applied into VANETs. In this paper, we have made a survey about routing techniques in VANET. We have I.

We have also discussed the multi-hop forwarding are equipped with wireless transceivers to communicate and carry-and-forward techniques which reduces the delay. with other vehicles and form a of wireless networks which We have also elaborated the temporary network is known as vehicular ad hoc networks or VANETs [1]. To fragmentation problem and the broadcast storm problem. improve the safety of drivers and provide the comfortable Rapid change in topology causes temporary network driving environment, messages for different purposes need fragmentation problem which influences the performance of to be sent to vehicles through the inter-vehicle data transmissions. The broadcast storm problem affects the rate of message delivery in VANETs. The key challenge is to communications. Unicast routing is a fundamental solve these problems to provide routing protocols with the operation for vehicle to construct a source-to-destination min communication delay, the min communication overhead, routing in a VANET as shown in Fig. 1 and the min time complexity. We have discussed the Multicast is defined by delivering multicast protocol is utilized for a source vehicle sends broadcast packets from a single source vehicle to all multicast message to all other vehicles in the network as shown in members by multi-hop communication. Geocast routing is Fig. 1 (c). Many results [2-4] on MANETs have been to deliver a geocast packet to a specific geographic region. proposed for unicast, multicast and geocast, and broadcast Vehicles located in this specific geographic region should protocols. However, VANETs are basically different to receive and forward the geocast packet; otherwise, the MANETs, such as the special mobility prototype. This key packet is dropped as shown in Fig. 1 (b). Broadcast differentiation causes the existing routing protocol on 89 Copyright © 2016. Vandana Publications.

In this transmission delay time is the major concern and the investigation, the recent new results for VANET routing shortest routing path is usually adopted. However, the method are first surveyed. shortest routing path may be not the quickest path with the minimum delay time in VANETs. The shortest routing II. UNICAST ROUTING PROTOCOL path may be found in a low density area, packets can not transmit by the multi-hop forwarding since that there is no This section introduces the unicast routing neighboring vehicle can forward packets. Packets should protocols in VANETs. The main goal of unicast routing in be delivered by carry-and forward scheme. The delay time VANETs is to transmit data from a single source to a is greatly growing if the multi-hop forwarding can not be single destination via wireless multi-hop transmission or utilized. Efforts will be made as finding a routing path with carry-and-forward techniques. In the wireless multi-hop multi-hop forwarding. The min-delay routing protocols [5- transmission technique, or called as multi-hop forwarding, 11] are reviewed as follows. the intermediate vehicles in a routing path should relay data as soon as possible from source to destination. In the 2.1.1 Greedy perimeter coordinator routing protocol carry-and-forward technique, source vehicle carries data as Lochert et al. [5] proposed GPCR (greedy long as possible to reduce the number of data packets. The perimeter coordinator routing) which is a position-based delivery delay-time cost by carry-and-forward technique is routing for urban environment. GPCR protocol is very well normally longer than wireless multi-hop transmission suited for highly dynamic environments such as inter- technique. Two categories of routing protocol designing vehicle communication on the highway or city. GPCR are classified, min-delay routing protocol and traverses the junctions by a restricted greedy forwarding delaybounded routing protocol. Min-delay routing protocol procedure, and adjusts the routing path by the repair aims to minimize the delivery delay-time from source to strategy which is based on the topology of streets and destination. Delay-bounded routing protocol attempts to junctions. Fig. 3 (a) shows that vehicle Vu tries to send maintain a low level of channel utilization within the packets to vehicle VD. Vehicle 1a is selected as the next constrained delivery delay-time. This section describes hop of Vu if greedy forwarding scheme is used. After existing unicast routing protocols in VANETs as follows. vehicle 1a received the packets, vehicle 1a detects 2.1 Min-Delay Routing Protocol destination VD is not located at north. Vehicle 1a then The goal of min-delay routing protocols is to transmit moves packets backward vehicle 2a, then the packet is data packets to destination as soon as possible. The forwarded to VD. with pre-loaded digital maps, which provide street-level 2.1.2 VADD: vehicle-assisted data delivery routing map and traffic statistics such as traffic density and vehicle protocol speed on roads at different times of the day. Data delivery routing protocol is developed by 2.1.3 Connectivity-aware routing protocol Zhao et al. [6], called as VADD. VADD protocol adopted To overcome the limitation of the static the idea of carry-and-forward for data delivery from a destination, Naumov et al. [3, 7] proposed Connectivity- moving vehicle to a static destination. The most important Aware Routing (CAR) protocol. CAR protocol establishes issue is to select a forwarding path with the smallest packet a routing path from source to destination by setting the delivery delay. To keep the low data transmission delay, anchor points at intermediate junctions. CAR protocol VADD protocol transmits packets through wireless sends the searching packets to find the destination. Each channels as much as possible, and if the packet has to be forwarding vehicle records its ID, hop count, and average carried through roads, the road with higher speed is chosen number of neighbors in searching packets. Once the firstly. VADD protocol assumes that vehicles are equipped searching packets reach the destination, the destination 90 Copyright © 2016. Vandana Publications.

While destination sends Fig. 4 (a) gives that vehicle VS tries to send data to vehicle the reply packet to the source, the junctions passed through VD, the anchor points are set at I1,1, I2,1, I2,2, I3,2, and by the reply packet are set as the anchor point. After the I3,4.

DIR protocol can To improve the CAR protocol, Chen et al. [8] automatically adjust routing path for keeping the lower developed a diagonal-intersection based routing (DIR) packet delay, compared to CAR protocol [7]. protocol. The key difference of CAR and DIR protocols is 2.1.5 ROMSGP routing protocol that DIR protocol [8] constructs a series of diagonal To improve the routing reliability, Taleb et al. [9] intersections between the source and destination vehicles. proposed ROMSGP (Receive on Most Stable Group-Path) The DIR protocol is a geographic routing protocol. Based routing protocol in a city environment. Taleb et al. indicate on the geographic routing protocol, source vehicle that an unstable routing usually occurred due to the loss of geographically forwards the data packet toward the first connectivity if one vehicle moves out of the transmission diagonal intersection, the second diagonal intersection, and range of a neighboring vehicle. In ROMSGP protocol, all so on, until the last diagonal intersection, and finally vehicles are split into four groups based on the velocity geographically reaches to the destination vehicle. For vector. A routing is said as a stable routing if the two given a pair of neighboring diagonal intersections, two or vehicles are categorized in the same group; otherwise, the more disjoint sub-paths exist between them. The novel routing is an unstable routing. A vehicle belongs to a group property of DIR protocol is the auto-adjustability, while if the velocity vector has the maximum projection vector the auto-adjustability is achieved that one sub-path with with this group. Fig. 5 illustrates the ROMSGP routing low data packet delay, between two neighboring diagonal protocol. Two routing paths are established, {VAVB, intersections, is dynamically selected to forward data VBVD} and {VAVC, VCVD}. If VA, VB, VC, and VD packets. To reduce the data packet delay, the route is belong to the same group, the two routing paths are both automatically re-routed by the selected sub-path with stable.
