Scalable Hybrid Location-Based Routing in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are highly mobile wireless networks that are designed to support vehicular safety, traffic monitoring, and other applications. Within VANETs, vehicle mobility will cause the communication links between vehicles to be broken frequently. Such link failures require a direct response from the routing protocols, leading to an excessive increase in the routing control overhead and a degradation in network...
