Efficient routing algorithms and protocols provide the necessary scalability to accommodate the expanding network, ensuring seamless connectivity and communication between vehicles. This scalability allows IoVs to support a wide range of applications, services, and devices without compromising network performance. In Fig. (1), we can see how IoVs connect over the Internet [9].
Fig. (1)) IoV communication.Hence, it is quite evident that an efficient routing is vital for the successful operation of IoVs. It enhances traffic management, facilitates real-time communication for safety applications, enables various vehicular services, optimizes resource utilization, and ensures scalability and seamless mobility [10]. By adopting advanced routing technologies and protocols, the challenges and limitations associated with routing in IoVs can be addressed, leading to a more efficient, secure, and reliable vehicular network.
Historical Details about IoV and its Evolution Over Time
The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) has emerged as a groundbreaking concept that revolutionizes how we interact with and navigate the modern transportation landscape. In this chapter, we embark on a historical journey through the evolution of IoV, focusing on its transformative impact on routing efficiency [11]. We will also delve into specific examples and real-world scenarios where efficient routing has made a significant impact and explore the persistent challenges and innovative solutions that have arisen along the way.
Early Pioneers and Visionaries
The roots of IoV can be traced back to the visionary ideas of pioneers who recognized the potential of connected vehicles. In the late 20th century, researchers and inventors like Victor Szebehely envisioned the integration of technology into vehicles to improve safety and efficiency [12]. Although rudimentary, these early concepts laid the groundwork for IoV's development.
Emergence of Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs)
The true catalyst for IoV's evolution was the emergence of Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) in the early 2000s. VANETs represented a pivotal shift by enabling vehicles to communicate with each other and with roadside infrastructure [13]. One of the most notable examples of VANET's impact on routing efficiency is its application in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) on highways. Case study: The development of adaptive traffic management systems, such as the one implemented on the I-95 highway in the United States, showcased how real-time data from connected vehicles could be used to optimize traffic flow and reroute vehicles to reduce congestion.
Connectivity Beyond VANETs
As IoV continued to evolve, it expanded beyond the confines of VANETs. The introduction of cellular connectivity, exemplified by the deployment of 4G and later 5G networks, played a pivotal role in IoV's growth. This shift allowed vehicles to access the internet directly, facilitating cloud-based routing solutions. Case study: Ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft rely heavily on real-time routing algorithms that leverage cellular connectivity to match passengers with nearby drivers, optimizing routes for efficiency [14].
Challenges and Issues in Routing
Despite the remarkable progress, IoV has encountered several significant challenges in routing:

Tesla's Autopilot system uses edge computing to process sensor data and make split-second routing decisions for safe autonomous driving.
Challenges and Issues in Routing for IoV
Despite the potential benefits and advancements in routing technologies, the Internet of Vehicles (IoVs) face several challenges and issues that need to be addressed for efficient and reliable routing. This section explores the key challenges and issues associated with routing in IoVs, highlighting the complexities and potential limitations [14].
Highly Dynamic and Heterogeneous Network Topology
IoVs consist of a highly dynamic and heterogeneous network topology, with vehicles constantly moving, joining, and leaving the network. This dynamic nature poses challenges for routing protocols as they need to adapt and quickly establish routes based on the changing network conditions [15]. The varying communication ranges, network densities, and different vehicle types further complicate the routing process, requiring robust and adaptive routing algorithms.
Scalability and Network Management
The scalability of routing solutions is a significant challenge in IoVs due to the large number of connected vehicles and devices. As the network expands, routing protocols must handle the increased traffic and efficiently manage network resources [16]. The design of scalable routing algorithms that can handle the growing network size while maintaining low latency and high throughput is a complex task. Additionally, network management becomes challenging, requiring mechanisms to monitor and maintain the network's health, update routing information, and handle failures or disruptions.
Quality of Service (QoS) and Resource Constraints
Routing in IoVs must consider the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of different applications and services. Applications such as real-time video streaming, autonomous driving, and safety-critical communications demand low latency, high reliability, and bandwidth guarantees [17]. However, the limited available network resources, including bandwidth, computing power, and energy, pose constraints on routing decisions. Balancing QoS requirements with resource constraints is a significant challenge that requires intelligent routing algorithms and efficient resource management techniques.
Security and Privacy Concerns
IoVs are susceptible to various security and privacy threats, and routing plays a crucial role in ensuring secure and private communication. Routing protocols must protect against attacks such as malicious data injection, spoofing, and denial-of-service attacks [18]. Additionally, privacy concerns arise due to the collection and dissemination of sensitive location and behavior data. Ensuring secure and privacy-preserving routing is a significant challenge that requires robust authentication, encryption, and anonymization techniques.
Interoperability and Standardization
IoVs involve multiple stakeholders, including vehicle manufacturers, infrastructure providers, and communication service providers [19]. The lack of standardized protocols and interoperability among different IoV components poses challenges for seamless routing. Different vehicle types, communication technologies, and infrastructure variations require standardized protocols and interfaces to ensure interoperability. Standardization efforts are necessary to enable efficient routing and smooth integration of different IoVs components.
Real-Time Data and Traffic Management
Routing decisions in IoVs heavily rely on real-time data, including traffic conditions, vehicle speeds, and environmental factors [20]. The timely collection and dissemination of accurate data pose challenges due to communication delays, network congestion, and data quality issues. Additionally, efficient traffic management and congestion control demand real-time updates and dynamic routing decisions. Developing robust data collection mechanisms, traffic prediction algorithms, and intelligent traffic management systems is crucial for addressing these challenges.
Addressing these challenges and issues requires interdisciplinary research efforts, involving computer scientists, engineers, transportation experts, and policymakers. By developing innovative routing algorithms, incorporating machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques, and establishing standardized protocols, the routing issues in IoVs can be effectively mitigated, leading to a more efficient and reliable Internet of Vehicles ecosystem [21].
TRADITIONAL ROUTING PROTOCOLS IN IoV
In the realm of the Internet of Vehicles (IoVs), traditional routing protocols have played a significant role in establishing communication paths and facilitating data exchange between vehicles and infrastructure. These routing protocols, designed for ad hoc and mobile networks, have been adapted and employed in IoVs to address the unique challenges posed by vehicular environments. This section explores some of the traditional routing protocols commonly used in IoVs and discusses their characteristics, advantages, and limitations [22]. Fig. (2) represents all the routing protocols used in IoV in brief.
Fig. (2)) Routing protocols for IoVs.Ad Hoc Routing Protocols
Ad hoc routing protocols are widely utilized in IoVs to enable communication between vehicles in the absence of a fixed infrastructure [23]. These protocols establish and maintain dynamic routes by leveraging the collaboration of neighboring vehicles.
Key Ad Hoc Routing Protocols Used In IoVs Include
Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV)
AODV is a reactive routing protocol that establishes routes only when needed. It utilizes route discovery and maintenance mechanisms to establish communication paths between vehicles dynamically. AODV is known for its low routing overhead and quick route establishment. However, it may incur higher latency for establishing new routes, especially in large-scale networks [24].
Dynamic Source Routing (DSR)
DSR is another reactive routing protocol that relies on source routing. In DSR, each packet carries a list of nodes (hops) that the packet should traverse to reach its destination. DSR allows for efficient route caching, reducing routing overhead. However, maintaining and updating route caches can be challenging in highly dynamic vehicular environments.
Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR)
OLSR is a proactive routing protocol that builds and maintains a network-wide topology by periodically exchanging link state information between vehicles. OLSR minimizes route discovery latency as routes are pre-established, making it suitable for IoVs with frequent data exchange. However, the overhead associated with frequent control message exchange may impact network scalability.
Geographic Routing Protocols
Geographic routing protocols exploit the geographical information of vehicles to make routing decisions. These protocols utilize location-based routing mechanisms to forward packets toward the destination based on the vehicle's geographic coordinates. Some notable geographic routing protocols used in IoVs are:
Greedy Perimeter Stateless Routing (GPSR)
GPSR is a popular geographic routing protocol that employs a greedy forwarding mechanism. It selects the neighbor closest to the destination to forward packets. In case of obstacles or local minima, GPSR utilizes perimeter routing by forwarding packets around the obstacle [25]. GPSR offers low routing overhead and is well-suited for large-scale vehicular networks. However, its performance may be affected by signal interference and dynamic network topology changes.
Geographic Distance Routing (GEDIR)
GEDIR is a distance-based geographic routing protocol that selects the next hop based on the geographic distance to the destination [26]. It aims to minimize the total distance traveled by packets, thereby reducing energy consumption and delay. GEDIR provides efficient routing in IoVs with static or semi-static traffic patterns. However, it may encounter challenges in highly dynamic scenarios with rapid vehicle movements.
Cluster-Based Routing Protocols
Cluster-based routing protocols divide the vehicular network into clusters, with each cluster having a designated cluster head responsible for managing intra-cluster and inter-cluster communications [27]. This approach helps in reducing routing overhead and improves scalability. Notable cluster-based routing protocols in IoVs include:
Cluster-Based Routing Protocol (CBRP)
CBRP creates clusters dynamically and selects cluster heads based on parameters like connectivity and residual energy. Cluster heads perform routing tasks and facilitate communication within and between clusters. CBRP provides efficient routing and reduces the number of control messages. However, cluster formation and maintenance overhead can impact scalability in large-scale IoVs.
Vehicular Ad Hoc Network Clustering and Routing (VANET-CAR)
VANET-CAR is a cluster-based routing protocol designed specifically for vehicular networks. It employs a centralized approach to form clusters and assign cluster heads. VANET-CAR offers efficient routing and enables scalable communication in IoVs. However, the centralized nature may introduce a single point of failure and require additional management overhead.
While traditional routing protocols have been employed in IoVs, they may face challenges when applied to highly dynamic and resource-constrained vehicular environments. As IoVs evolve and new requirements emerge, there is a need for advanced and tailored routing protocols that address the specific challenges of vehicular networks, such as real-time traffic information, energy efficiency, and security [28].
Various research works have been carried out already that compare and analyze the various characteristics of these protocols. Researchers in [29-31] have very efficiently compared and explained these protocols.
