A relative newcomer to the field of wireless communications, ad hoc networking is growing
quickly, both in its importance and its applications. With rapid advances in hardware, software…

Existing position-based unicast routing algorithms which forward packets in the geographic
direction of the destination require that the forwarding node knows the positions of all …

Routing of data in a vehicular ad hoc network is a challenging task due to the high dynamics
of such a network. Recently, it was shown for the case of highway traffic that position-based …

We present an overview of ad hoc routing protocols that make forwarding decisions based
on the geographical position of a packet's destination. Other than the destination's position, …

Position-based routing, as it is used by protocols like Greedy Perimeter Stateless Routing (GPSR)
[5], is very well suited for highly dynamic environments such as inter-vehicle …

This paper proposes a topology independent, scalable information dissemination algorithm
for spatio-temporal traffic information such as parking place availability using vehicular ad …

New trends in communication, in particular the deployment of multicast and real-time audio/video
streaming applications, are likely to increase the percentage of non-TCP traffic in the …

The search for free parking places is a promising application for vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs).
In order to guide drivers to a free parking place at their destination, it is necessary …

Simulation and emulation are valuable techniques for the evaluation of algorithms and
protocols used in mobile ad-hoc networks. However, these techniques always require the …

In this paper we investigate how a VANET-based traffic information system can overcome
the two key problems of strictly limited bandwidth and minimal initial deployment. First, we …
