Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are a subclass of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) that have inherited some of this type of network's features. Due to road accidents, these networks are a promising technology to increase passengers' comfort and safety and increase road safety and provide traffic information. In vehicular ad hoc networks, it is challenging to design an efficient routing protocol for data routing in vehicles due to rapid topology changes and frequent disconnections. Applications in these fields require efficient routing protocols. The design of a routing protocol must be done both in terms of useful information dissemination and under the information dissemination environment's actual conditions. In this paper, we overview the existing VANET routing protocols; As there are different routing protocols in VANET, we need to do detailed research on various routing protocols and their strengths/weaknesses. The routing protocols essentially concentrate on delay, packet delivery magnitude relation, information measure utilization, and plenty of alternative factors. However, there are challenges to select a routing protocol to a dynamic topology and special characteristics of VANETs. VANET is extremely advantageous because it helps in up the road safety through reducing the amount of accidents by warning drivers regarding the danger before they really face it and different facilities to comfort drivers.

Wireless body Area networks (WBANs) include a number of sensor nodes placed inside or on the human body to improve patient health and quality of life. Ensuring the transfer and receipt of data in sensitive data is a very important issue. Routing algorithms should support a variety of service quality such as reliability and delay in sending and receiving data. Loss of information or excessive data delay can lead to loss of human life. A proper routing algorithm in WBAN networks provides an efficient route with minimum delay and higher reliability for sensitive data. In this context, a routing algorithm, as it is proposed, categorizes patient data into sensitive and non-sensitive. Sensitive packets are transmitted to the destination through the shortest route to have less delay and non-sensitive packets are transmitted from other routes. Simulation shows that the proposed algorithm performs better, in terms of the throughput than the DMQoS and RL-QRP this superiority; as a result, decreases the latency of the end.

Considering the great significant role that routing protocols play in transfer rate and choosing the optimum path for exchange of data packages, and further in the amount of consumed energy in the routing protocol, the present study has focused on developing an efficient compound energy algorithm based on cluster structure which is called active node with cluster structure. The purpose of this algorithm is to distribute the heavy traffic of data and equal load of highly-consumed energy throughout the networks by introducing unequal and unbalanced clusters into the network. In the second stage, the light sensor mechanism which is called active node sensor algorithm has been proposed. The major purpose of this mechanism is to prevent excessive interfering data of sensors through incorporating a set of active nodes in each cluster with a defensive shield near to the incident node. The third stage has aimed at proposing an active node algorithm for complexity of internal and external addressing due to clusters routing in high density distribution based on the values within node range. The obtained results indicate relative success of the design in terms of energy optimization on the basis of routing protocol.

Wireless Sensor Networks are the new generation of networks that typically are formed great numbers of nodes and the communications of these nodes are done as Wireless. The main goal of these networks is collecting data from neighboring environment of network sensors. Since the sensor nodes are battery operated and there is no possibility of charging or replacing the batteries, the lifetime of the networks is dependent on the energy of sensors. The objective of this research, is to combine the Harmony Search Algorithm and Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm, as successful meta heuristic algorithm to routing at wireless sensor to increase lifetime at this type of networks. To this purpose, algorithm called HS-ACO is suggested. In this algorithm, two criterion of reduction consumption of energy and appropriate distribution of consumption energy between nodes of sensor leads to increase lifetime of network is considered. Results of simulations, show the capability of the proposed algorithm in finding the Proper path and establishment appropriate balance in the energy consumed by the nodes. Propose algorithm is better than Harmony Search algorithm and Ant Colony Optimization algorithm and Genetic Ant algorithm.
