Efficient Data Traffic Control Protocol with Vehicle Prioritization Approach

Vehicles and their communications play a key role in the Internet of Things. The Social Internetof Vehicles (SIoV) is a subset of the Social Internet of Things (SIoT) in which vehicles areobjects that communicate and exchange information via wireless waves with each other andaccess points, afterwards the knowledge and information obtained utilize for various motivationssuch as guidance drivers and managing conditions. In the Data Traffic Control and PrioritizationProtocol (DTCPP) proposed in this research, the environment around an access point is dividedinto four parts with different radii. Vehicles are also located in one of the four assigned areasaccording to their distance from the access point. Each vehicle has the opportunity to transmitpackets to the access point according to the desired area and only in a dynamic time slot, and isasleep at other times. The results of the analysis indicate that the DTCPP increases thethroughput near ۹۵% -۹۸% and also reduces the energy consumption about ۱۷% -۲۲% comparedto the VSNP method.
