Abstract

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) provide a communication platform to deploy information exchange applications among road users. The energy consumption of the involved terminals, that rely on limited battery power, has led to research to design energy-efficient communications. In this paper, we reduce the energy consumption of the OLSR routing protocol in VANETs by using Differential Evolution algorithm to search for energy-efficient configurations. The experimental analysis shows that significant improvements over the standard configuration can be attained in terms of energy savings (up to 30%) without degrading the QoS.
