Advances in Position Based Routing Towards ITS Enabled FoG-Oriented VANET–A Survey

With the rapid growth in connected vehicles and related innovative applications, it is getting keen interest among the researchers. Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) comprise of interconnected vehicles with sensing capabilities to exchange traffic, weather and emergency information. Intelligent transportation system (ITS) supports better coordination among vehicles and in providing reliable services. In VANET, topology is dynamic due to the high mobility of vehicles, therefore, the existing topology-based schemes are not suitable. In this paper, the authors have explored position based routing (PBR) protocols for VANETs by presenting a taxonomy. The existing survey papers have focused on PBR schemes but they have further focused on considering PBR for the city environment along with connectivity aware routing schemes. Moreover, linear programming, genetic algorithms, and regression-based schemes are also included. To further evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of PBR schemes, a categorical evaluation of different architectures, path strategies, and carry-forward strategies are presented. Currently, no architecture is presented for FoG-oriented VANET using parked vehicles as guards for anchor points or junctions. To fill this aspiring demand, the authors have presented a FoG-oriented VANET architecture that can support the PBR by utilizing road junctions for path selection. It also involves the vehicles in the parking area for packet transmission. Further, they have proposed to use parked vehicles near junction as an option for selecting guarding vehicle along with ITS as well. It reduces the probability of extensive carry forward-based communication due to the absence of guarding nodes. The records at parked vehicles can be upgraded at neighboring parked vehicles as well during the beaconing or exchange of data messages. The architecture supports better packet delivery ratios, end-to-end delay, transmission time, and communication cost. Moreover, opportunities and challenges of the proposed architecture are also explored to attract researchers toward this area of research.
