Dynamic urban evaluation routing protocol for enhanced vehicle ad hoc networks

Abstract

Abstract Recently, a crucial need has grown for improving data communication for the application of roads and ad hoc networks. That is, to provide reliable and operational efficiency in data delivery and throughput. Due to the fast fragmentation and dynamic network behavior, there is an increasing demand to reach reliability in data transmission. Furthermore, the various features and the manifold of dynamic topologies in the vehicular ad hoc network raise the need to redesign the routing strategy. Thus, ensuring efficient and reliable data delivery. This paper aims to introduce a Software architecture for Road Network. The architecture is based on fog computing and aims to improve the overall performance in vehicular networks. The proposed architecture is a new routing design for the urban system to accomplish low energy consumption and operational efficiency in data delivery. The integration between the software-defined networks and fog computing platform in the proposed architecture aids to address the high rate of data transmission. Historically, this high rate negatively affected network capacity and power consumption. To prove the effectiveness of the proposed architecture, it is compared with five state-of-art algorithms published in high impact journals. The proposed architecture performance is tested based on four metrics namely packet delivery ratio, network throughput, power consumption, and routing overhead. The experimental results indicate that a 50–60% improvement in both power consumption and packet delivery ratio, while a 60–65% enhancement in network throughput and routing overhead, respectively.
