Vehicular Delay Tolerant Network Routing Schemes: A Review

  Ishwarpreet Kaur Grewal,  Dr. Sandeep Harit

Routing of data packets in vehicular adhoc network (VANET) is a challenge because of constant dynamic change in the network topology and dynamic nodes. Especially in case of sparse environments where there does not exist a continuous end-to-end connection from source to destination. Sparse environments like rural areas and hilly areas lack technological support in the form of infrastructure due to deployment difficulties or due to economic reasons. These areas usually do not have a high priority in governmental investments. Various delay tolerant network protocols have been proposed for sparse environment. These protocols use different ways to tackle the problems of connectivity in sparse environment. The method and parameters used in various techniques vary from each other. In the following paper a review has been done on various delay tolerant (DTN) protocols in VANET based on various parameters, environment used, technique etc.. DTN protocols such as delay based, direction based and distance based have been compared.

Keywords- Delay tolerant network, Routing protocols, sparse environment, VANETS, vehicle to vehicle communication.
