SEERP: A Recursive SDN–Fog Protocol for Low-Latency Emergency Message Dissemination in 6G-Enabled Internet of Vehicles

Abstract Fast-moving vehicle networks pose a threat of high congestion, traffic incidents, and lower throughput, especially in multi-version vehicles, particularly the inter-net of vehicles (IoV). The increasing demand for cloud-based communication models has driven greater interest in the IoVs. This paper presents a recursive solution for smooth communication in an emergency, finding the best relay node in a fast-paced network environment. The primary objectives of this paper are to address congestion control, communication incidents, and disaster management functions, with a focus on maintaining a stable link to prevent emergencies 1 in the 6G-enabled IoV network. The proposed model “SEERP: A Recursive SDN–Fog Protocol for Low-Latency Emergency Message Dissemination in 6G-Enabled Internet of Vehicles” is implemented in different scenarios to conduct a series of simulations and compare the results with two existing schemes. The results achieved demonstrate a significant improvement in the efficiency of the proposed model in terms of time node communication during a network disaster.
