Optimizing Vanet Communications: A Bibliometric Analysis of Energy-Efficient Strategies with Deep Learning

Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) are important for intelligent transportation systems, permitting vehicles to communicate with one another and nearby infrastructure in order to enhance road safety, traffic management and infotainment services. But the VANET communication is a high energy consumption technology, which may become a big challenge of large-scale power efficiency being in some real scenarios where huge number vehicles are needed to implement such V2I or V2V services sustaining. This paper conducts a analysis of different transmission stratagems for energy-efficient communication strategies among vehicles in VANETs, along with the focus to incorporate deep learning accelerators into an optimized architecture framework for enhancing communication processes. The paper presents an overview of VANET architecture and communication protocols, and then reviews the techniques to save energy in a VANET including efficient mechanisms for Transmission Power Control (TPC), some energy-aware routing protocols, as well as data aggregation realizations. Next, the paper introduces deep learning models that can adaptively optimize VANET transmission by forecasting network states and updating strategies on-the-fly. This analysis emphasizes hybrid solutions where deep learning is combined with traditional communication strategies to improve the energy efficiency apparent on a system level. Finally addresses the current challenges in the field and the need for advanced AI-driven techniques. This bibliometric analysis provides a comprehensive overview of energy-efficient communication strategies in VANETs, offering insights into how deep learning can contribute to the development of more sustainable vehicular networks.
