Description
Summary:In urban Internet of vehicles (IoV) systems, the road side unit (RSU) was commonly deployed at road intersections to provide two-dimensional service coverage. However, due to vehicle dynamics, RSU might suffer from massive power waste. A novel RSU deployment strategy was proposed that dynamically adjusted the operating mode and transmission power of RSU, based on the spatial distribution of vehicles. An adaptive mapping mechanism between RSU power consumption and vehicle distribution patterns was established that overcame the power consumption bottleneck caused by traditional RSU's fixed coverage to minimize the total power consumption of RSU. Furthermore, the concept of candidate communication service area (CCSA) was introduced, utilized in combination with an exploratory RSU deployment algorithm (ERDA) and an enhanced genetic algorithm (eGA) to implement the RSU deployment strategy. Analysis and simulation results indicate that, compared with conventional methods, the proposed RSU deployment stra-tegy significantly reduces redundant road coverage, leading to minimized RSU power consumption. In low vehicle density, the ERDA can achieve optimal solutions with low computational complexity. In high vehicle density, the eGA provides a reasonable balance between complexity and performance. Therefore, the proposed strategy provides practical engineering guidance for urban transportation systems.
