TLC: Trust Point Load Balancing Method using Coalitional Game Theory for message forwarding in VANET

Message forwarding between vehicles has become an important aspect in Vehicular ad hoc network (IEEE 802.11e) where message gets forward from the source node to the destination node. As VANET is a dynamic network where independent identity node helps each other to forward the message. However many times nodes are not interested in forwarding the message due to their selfish nature or to save their resources like memory. Thus, it is essential to give the node some incentive to forward the message. Recently many routing protocol has been proposed for message forwarding like proportional, receipt counting and Frame. However for higher vehicle density area, they have not addressed the load balancing issue for messages forwarding. TLC (Trust point Load Balancing Method using Coalitional Game Theory) scheme proposes Trust point system for message forwarding using Coalitional game theory. Further TLC also addressed the load balancing issue based on trust points.
