A Distant Node Based Multicast Routing Protocol for Sparse Area Vehicle to Vehicle Communication

Inter-Vehicular Communication(IVC) is one of the most advanced research areas for last few years. Traditional Mobile-Ad hoc-NETwork (MANET) protocols are proved to be not that much effective in Vehicular-Ad hoc-NETwork (VANET). Moreover, the protocols for dense areas are not suitable for partially connected areas. In this paper a Distance Node Based Multicast Routing (DBMR) protocol for sparse areas with a small overhead of incorporating multicast group selection is introduced with some small modification in the existing Border node Based Routing (BBR) protocol.
