Fast energy-aware OLSR routing in VANETs by means of a parallel evolutionary algorithm
This work addresses energy efficiency in vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs), which is an incremental improvement for deploying wireless mobile networks.
The paper tackled reducing power consumption of the OLSR routing protocol in vehicular networks by introducing a fast automatic methodology using a parallel evolutionary algorithm, achieving significant improvements in power consumption without notable QoS loss.
This work tackles the problem of reducing the power consumption of the OLSR routing protocol in vehicular networks. Nowadays, energy-aware and green communication protocols are important research topics, specially when deploying wireless mobile networks. This article introduces a fast automatic methodology to search for energy-efficient OLSR configurations by using a parallel evolutionary algorithm. The experimental analysis demonstrates that significant improvements over the standard configuration can be attained in terms of power consumption, with no noteworthy loss in the QoS.
