Abstract

Benefiting from unlimited power supply, vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), in a 5G platform, can deal superiorly with the challenges of providing high reliability. As a prerequisite for ensuring reliability, reducing message delivery delay is pursued by improving the performance of message broadcast protocol. The amount of exchanged overhead to select a relay node, and the time consumed to forward a message are the two foremost factors in this regard. In the other hand, cognitive radio (CR) and device-to-device (D2D) communication techniques have been considered inherently in 5G to overcome bandwidth shortage, coverage limitation and excessive delay. So, in this article, we study some relay selection algorithms appropriate for 5G-VANET and classify them based on network reliability requirements. Considering the capabilities of CR and D2D communications in 5G-VANET, a method is proposed to select the farthest available node to forward a message without any need to exchange control messages with other vehicles. Unlike other existing works, we decrease the impact of control data overhead on network reliability in terms of message delivery hops and delay. Our simulation results show the proposed method can significantly increase network reliability by reducing message delivery delay, as well as the number of hops needed to deliver a message to the furthermost vehicles in a platoon.
