Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks: Address Configuration and Routing Protocols

The goal of Vehicular Ad-hoc network (VANET) is increasing the road traffic efficiency. Due to the unique property of VANET such as high movability of nodes, dynamic change in topology, routing in VANET is a very difficult task. It is a challenge to certify a reliable, continuous and consistent communication of vehicles having very high speed [1], so we study some of the routing protocols and the address configuration schemes in the VANETs.
