Abstract
A method includes selecting a path for routing a data packet from a source node to a destination node in a vehicular ad hoc network, storing the data packet if the selected path is identified as a dead end, and establishing a communication link with a first node. The method also includes forwarding the data packet to the first node if a first distance between the first node and the destination node is less than a second distance between the source node and the destination node. More specific embodiments include sending a query for location information of the destination node, receiving the location information including two or more available paths from the source node to the destination node, and determining the path for routing the data packet is an optimal path of the two or more available paths.

51. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, in a source node, a data packet to be routed to a destination node in a vehicular network; querying a location server in another network for location information associated with the destination node; receiving the location information of the destination node including two or more available paths from the source node to the destination node; selecting an optimal path from the two or more available paths; establishing a communication link with a first node in the optimal path; forwarding the data packet to the first node if a first distance between the first node and the destination node is less than a second distance between the source node and the destination node; receiving in the source node a request for sensor data; obtaining the sensor data; generating a tag for the sensor data; encapsulating the sensor data with the tag; and sending the encapsulated sensor data to a data collector, wherein the obtaining, the generating, the encapsulating, and the sending occur in response to the request in real time.
