Abstract
The development in technologies the mobile networks has been rapidly change, especially Mobile Ad-hoc and Vehicular Ad-Hoc networks. Due to nature of the fields, the mobile sensor network replaced the fixed sensor network. In these fields, the topology dynamically changes time by time due to speed and congested environment because of this routing is a crucial and challenging issue. For routing a variety of new routing protocols have been developed. In mobile Ad-hoc networks and Vehicular Ad-Hoc networks the routing protocols are divided into different categorize. They based on topology, position, and network. We discuss the topology based efficient routing protocols and some shed on pros and cons and characteristics and types of these protocols. Moreover, we compare the protocols performance and nature of work.
