Towards general Internet of Vehicles networking: Routing protocols survey

“…• Target network: The network technology recently became a criterion upon which routing protocols can be classified, 10 as many communication technologies can be used to exchange information between the vehicular components (vehicles, RSUs, road signs, and so forth), to cite a few examples: DSRC, 5G, LiFi. 3 For V2V communications, the main deployed technologies are DSRC and cellular communications. 21 Based on the target networks, we can distinguish between two network models 10 : homogeneous network, where only one technology is used and heterogeneous network, where two or more technologies are deployed.…”

“…In fact, the concept introduces a panoply of communication levels, namely: intravehicle communication, vehicle to device communication, V2V, V2I, vehicle to pedestrian communication, and vehicle to network communication. 3 However, a broader vision of intelligent mobility can be achieved; in Reference 3, we identified three network domains including terrestrial, aerial, and marine. In fact, the term vehicle includes all transportation means.…”

“…In order to enable these communications, several wireless technologies are used in the vehicular environment such as DSRC (dedicated short range communication), cellular communications and LiFi (light fidelity). 3 The effective delivery of VANET applications and services among network nodes is tightly related to the flexibility and performance of deployed routing protocols, which are held back by the shared medium and the low bandwidth, characterizing the vehicular environment. The routing process is needed in order to relay information between vehicles until reaching the destination.…”
