The document discusses position-based routing protocols for vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). It begins with an introduction to VANETs and their characteristics. It then describes different types of routing protocols used in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) and VANETs, including proactive, reactive, topology-based, position-based, broadcast-based, and geocast routing protocols. The document focuses on various position-based routing protocols for VANETs such as OLSR, lifetime-based, GSR, A-STAR, GPCR, GyTAR, DBR, and DBR-LS. It evaluates these protocols and explains their advantages and limitations, particularly in dealing with
