Abstract

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) merging with 5G technology will result in cognitive transportation system. As for optimal data transmission, 5G is utilized to reduce the burden on mobile networks. VANETs are emerged from mobile ad hoc networks. Parameters like distance, nodes movement, mobility models, link stability, and speed need to be improved accordingly. This survey study mainly focuses on the types of ad hoc networks, comparative analysis of wireless communication technologies, and routing protocols for VANETs. Also, different techniques like machine learning, deep learning, metaheuristic search algorithms, and optimization techniques are discussed to enhance the capabilities of VANETs. In addition, for secure communication in VANETs, intrusion detection systems are studied to identify different security attacks.
