Performance Analysis of a Polling-Based Access Control Combining with the Sleeping Schema in V2I VANETs for Smart Cities

Abstract

In vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), one of the important challenges is the lack of precise mathematical modeling taking into account the passive vacation triggered by the zero-arrival state of nodes. Therefore, a polling-based access control is proposed in this paper using a sleeping schema to meet the challenge of quality of service (QoS) and energy-efficient transport in VANET environments for smart cities. Based on IEEE 802.11p, it was developed in an attempt to improve the energy efficiency of the hybrid coordination function of controlled channel access (HCCA) through a self-managing sleeping mechanism for both the roadside unit (RSU) and on-board units (OBUs) or sensor nodes according to the traffic load in vehicle -to-infrastructure (V2I) scenarios. Additionally, a Markov chain was developed for analyzing the proposed mechanism, and the exact mathematical model is provided with regard to the passive vacation. Then, the performance characteristics—including the mean cyclic period, delay, and queue length—were accurately obtained. In addition, the closed-form expression of the quantitative relationship among sleeping time, performance characteristics, and service parameters was obtained, which can easily evaluate the energy efficiency. It was proven that theoretical calculations were completely consistent with simulation results. The simulation results demonstrate that the suggested method had much lower energy consumption than the standard strategy at the expense of rarely access delay.

Clustering-Based Modified Ant Colony Optimizer for Internet of Vehicles (CACOIOV)

“…This factor can be changed in a range of [1-MaxIteration ants ]. By our experiment, if the DP CS value has changed in the range of [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10], the convergence speed of the algorithm for finding the best solution becomes quicker. On the other hand, increasing this value by more than 10 reduces accuracy for finding the best solution by ants.…”

“…Therefore, to establish safe and sustainable mobility, various challenges should be resolved (such as security and connectivity) and contemplated to introduce effective V2X systems to the market that include standardizations, deployment plans, technical challenges, etc. [4]. Technology for routing is a well-known research core of conventional networks.…”

Selfishness in Vehicular Delay-Tolerant Networks: A Review

“…As a result, a number of up to date applications have been developed for vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET) [12][13][14][15][16] for comfortable journey services. The current 5G connected modern vehicles in South Korea is one of the prime examples of VANET [17,18].…”
