Abstract
The particular requirements and special features of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) (e.g., special mobility patterns, short link lifetimes, rapid topology changes) involve challenges for the research community. One of these challenges is the development of new routing protocols specially designed for VANETs. In this paper, we present a novel game-theoretical approach of a multimetric geographical routing protocol for VANETs to forward video-reporting messages in smart cities. Game theory is considered a very interesting theoretical framework to analyze and optimize resource allocation problems in digital communication scenarios. Our contribution has shown to enhance the overall performance of VANETs in urban scenarios, in terms of percentage of packet losses, average end-to-end packet delay and peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR).
