Routing Protocols for MANET, VANET and AANET: A Survey

Wireless and mobile communications have become dominant of all the communication with time. An ad hoc network is a collection of dynamic wireless mobile nodes which forms a temporary network without any fixed infrastructure. Ad Hoc Networks are multi - hop wireless networks. The node uses intermediate nodes to send packet to remote nodes. For this purpose different distributed routing protocols are required. This paper presents various routing protocols specifically designed for ad hoc routing networks like MANET, VANET, AANET.
