Abstract

Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) are one of the intelligent data transmission technologies which captured the attention of maximum of the applications of Intelligent Transport Systems. Due to the high mobility nature of VANETs, the consumption of energy is increased during the process of communication between the vehicles which leads to an increase in the end-to-end delay of the network. To overcome the network from this drawback Stability-Oriented Multi-agent Clustering (SOMAC)-based effective CH selection is performed in VANETs to improve the effectiveness of the communication. The parameters which are considered for the process of CH selection are distance, speed, connectivity, average acceleration and velocity, and residual energy. According to the parameters, the weight factor of the vehicle is measured and the vehicle with the highest weight factor is chosen as a CH. Two types of vehicles are present in the network which is a smart vehicles and ordinary vehicles. Smart vehicles can able to communicate directly with the RSU, but it is fewer in number. The ordinary vehicle is huge in numbers, and it transmits the data to the RSU using the CH. Effective CH selection provides a better communication platform for ordinary vehicles where it can reduce the energy consumption and delay of the network. The proposed SOMAC approach is simulated by using NS2 and evaluates the performance by focusing on the four performance metrics which are end-to-end delay (E2E), packet delivery ratio (PDR), throughput (TP), and energy efficiency (EE). Also, it compares with the earlier research on DGCM and ECRDP. From the simulation outcome, it is proven that the proposed SOMAC approach produced better PDR, TP, and EE as well as lower end-to-end delay when compared with the earlier works.
