Analytical investigation and implementation of carry and forward based routing protocol for vehicular ad hoc network

Recent research studies have recognized the applicability of carry and forward based routing in a vehicular ad hoc network (VANET), where packets are stored and carried by a moving vehicle until another vehicle comes into its transmission range and the packets are transmitted via wireless channel...
