Awareness routing algorithm in vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs)

Abstract

AbstractThe behavior of a Vehicle Ad hoc Network (VANETs) is extremely unpredictable due to the high mobility and random network topology inherent to the nature of VANETs. Several problems, including frequent connection failures, scalability, multi-hop data transfer, and data loss, impact the performance of Transmission Control Protocols (TCP) in such wireless ad hoc networks. This study proposes using zone-based routing with consideration for mobility in VANETs as a means of avoiding this issue. A hybrid optimization approach is introduced and used to the routing process. Both Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) and Artificial Bee Colony Optimization (ABCO) are components of the hybrid algorithm (ABC). Link stability and Residual energy provide the basis of the fitness function. Several measures, including delivery ratio, time, and overhead, are used to evaluate the effectiveness of the suggested method. A comparison of the suggested method's efficiency with that of other algorithms.
