Vehicular Ad hoc Networks is a promising sub-group of MANET. VANET is deployed on the highways, where the vehicles are mobile nodes. Safety and intelligent transportation are important VANET applications that require appropriate communication among vehicles, in particular routing technology. VANETs generally inherit their common features from MANETs where vehicles operate in a collaborative and dispersed way for promoting contact among vehicles and with network infrastructure like the Road Side Units (RSU) for enhanced traffic experience. In view of the fast growth of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), VANETs has attracted considerable interest in this decade. VANET suffer from a major problem of link failure due to dynamic mobility of vehicles. In this paper we proposed a position based routing algorithm to identify stable path, this will improve the routing by decreasing overhead and interrupting the number of links. Link Expiration Time (LET) is used to provide the stable link, the link with the longest LET is considered as the most stable link. The multicast Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (MAODV) is proposed to avoid the link breakages by using a link with longest LET. Data loss is reduced by avoiding link breakages and enhance throughput by reducing the communication delay.
Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) are gaining much attention from both industry and academia communities as an emerging technology. VANET is composed of self-regulating nodes where the vibrant node mobility changes the network topology frequently. The important aim of VANET is to upgrade road safety conditions to minimize extent of road mishaps. The nodes are very mobile in vehicular ad hoc network so routing becomes complex job. As the VANET nodes move very fast the topology changes accordingly. So node mobility prediction in VANET is a very important issue. Further, prediction of mobility helps to estimate the stable path between the nodes which leads to better routing. Estimating secure paths among the routing of nodes perform in a better way, thereby reducing the overhead and minimizing interruptions in connections. This paper explores VANET's basic architecture and discusses a number of current mobility prediction techniques, and concludes with performance analysis of existing routing protocols and proposed mobility prediction methods.
