A study on enhancing network stability in VANET with energy conservation of roadside infrastructures using LPMA agent

Abstract

Designing an intelligent transportation system (ITS) for vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) with seamless connectivity and appropriate energy conservation of roadside units (RSU) that takes part in communication between vehicular nodes is a challenging task because of the high mobility or dynamic nature of these networks. The nodes in the VANET whether stationary or moving are limited in terms of storage capacity, reliability, and energy. The main concern about these networks is whether the existing protocols meet the demands of feasibility of this high mobility VANETs and make them less dynamic or stable. In this paper, we discuss a clustering-based architecture designed with mobile agents and a combination of MH-LEACH and power-efficient gathering in sensor information systems (PEGASIS) protocols for building stability in VANET for seamless communication along with energy conservation of other RSU to improve quality of service.
