Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are essential components of a smart city environment owing to some safety-enhancing applications. The use VANETs extends from safety applications such as accident warning and collision avoidance entertainment streaming video or comfort parking spot identification. Besides, these require interconnecting, for example, by enabling vehicles communicate with other ...

Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) is a subset of Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET). VANET is a self-organized information system composed of vehicles (and possibly additional infrastructure) capable of short-range communication through the device called On Board Unit (OBU). There is a wide range of possible application areas of VANETs, including warning systems, collision avoidance/notification, aut...

Broadcasting is the process of sending a message from one node to all other nodes in an ad hoc network. It is a fundamental operation for communication in ad hoc networks as it allows for the update of network information, route discovery and other operations as well. In this paper, we review the pros and cons of different broadcasting methods in VANET. Also, the broadcast storm problem and bro...

A Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network or VANET is a sub form of Mobile Ad-Hoc Network or MANET that provides communication between vehicles and between vehicles and road-side base stations with an aim of providing efficient and safe transportation. A vehicle in VANET is considered to be an intelligent mobile node capable of communicating with its neighbours and other vehicles in the network. VANET introdu...

Ad hoc networks have been used in wide range of applications. These networks have become versatile as far implementation is concerned. Such networks have been used from static deployment to mobile network formations. Apart from Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) and Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs), another ad hoc formation with mobile nodes is the aerial ad hoc networks also termed as Flying Ad...
