Energy Based Stable Multi-Hop Leader Selection for Effective Communication in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks

Vehicular Adhoc Network (VANETs) have high speed mobility with huge data communication which affects the the traditional VANET communication. As the reason in the dynamically varying topology the consumption of energy and delay is maximized at the time of vehicle communication. To overcome this drawback in this article Energy based Stable Multi-hop Leader Selection (SMLS) is introduced in VANETs. Selection of stable CH is the main motive where certain effectual parameters are concentrated to achieve high efficiency and the chosen parameters are vehicle average velocity, stabilization factor, neighbor distance, inter-nodal distance and the vehicle trust value with the combination of direct trust and indirect trust calculation. Through this calculation the stable clusters are formed that's leads to achieve high quality in data communication which is carried out using inter cluster and intra cluster network model. The extensive simulation is done in NS3 whereas it gets compared with the earlier researches such as HGCM-VANETs and ICAH-VANETs. The simulation result proves that the proposed stable multi-hop leader selection for VANETs achieves high CH stability, CM lifetime, and throughput when compared with the earlier methods.
