Abstract
The dedicated vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET) is a communication model as vehicles can communicate with other vehicles directly or via fixed nodes called Roadside Units (RSU). It has become necessary to find supporting protocols for RSU to increase their efficiency, and thus increase the efficiency of the network. Since these nodes are distributed on the roads, it is important to find appropriate ways to distribute them to increase data transfer and reduce their energy consumption. In this paper, a zigzag distribution method is proposed and a mathematical model of Right Side-Left Side (RS-LS) is used to reduce the energy consumption of RSU and compare it with the main chain protocol. Two different cases were taken, Case-1-is for low density with 20 vehicles and Case-2-is for high density with 40 vehicles. The proposed method succeeded in saving energy and reduce the consumption in both cases, by 60% and 44%, respectively. � 2021 IEEE.
