Avoiding Discontinuity in VANET using a Content-Based Opprtunistic Routing

Mohamed Anis Mastouri, Salem Hasnaoui

Abstract: The goal of Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) is to contribute to safer and more efficient roads in the future by providing timely information to drivers and interested authorities. In the last few years, VANETs have been quite a hot research area and attract so much attention of both academia and industry, due to their particular characteristics, such as high dynamic topology and intermittent connectivity. In this context VANET have great challenges in terms of data exchange and routing in order to avoid the discontinuity. In this article, a proposal of a content-based communication approach is presented as a solution to bypass non predictable mobility and loss of connectivity.
