Resource key distribution and allocation based on sensor vehicle nodes for energy harvesting in vehicular ad hoc networks for transport application

Abstract

With vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) increasingly becoming a term synonymous with inter-vehicle communication, a lot of research is being carried out in this line to provide enhanced services. This paper proposes an efficient routing algorithm to improve energy, enhance security and maximize throughput in VANETs which is called as Energy Sources Based Resource Key Distribution and Allocation (ESBRKD-A). The performance of ESBRKD-A is analyzed in network simulator (NS2). The experimental results show that it generates 86% throughput and reduces the routing delay by up to 13% in comparison with two existing protocols viz., cross-layer optimization for heterogeneous energy and optimal scheduling in energy harvesting. ESBRKD-A also increases the lifetime of the network.
