Abstract Internet of Vehicle (IoV) technology is a promising application of Internet of Things (IoT) employed in smart city environment for smart communication. Traffic handling and non-delay tolerant communication services are expected from the communicating vehicles to improve its application efficiency. With the consideration of IoV in healthcare applications, this manuscript introduces a rapid connection aware neighbor selection (RCNS) for improving the efficiency in handling medical information. The selection process is induced by an instantaneous reward based learning algorithm (RLA) for ease of neighbor selection. The multiattributes of the neighbors in the information transmitting route are estimated with the knowledge of their position. Distance and reward of the neighbors in the transmission direction are assessed using a beacon-assisted vehicle discovery that minimizes the impact of collision. Different from the other neighbor selection schemes, this method is relies on renewed attribute estimated at the time of transmission. This aids the transmitter to decide transmission and modify transmission attributes. The performance of the proposed neighbor selection method is estimated through extensive simulation using the metrics: delay, delivery ratio, selection overhead and outage. Keywords IoT . IoV .

1 Introduction Internet of vehicle (IoV) assimilates two miscellaneous technologies nam ely vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANET) and smart computing to aid intelligent transportation services (ITS) in smart cities. IoV encompasses heterogeneous components including on-board units (OBUs) or vehicles, wireless networks, communication technologies, control and access applications and cloud services. In a smart city environment, IoV provides seamless services and application support for traffic management, safety-driving and location assistance, emergency and disaster management scenarios, human communications, etc. [1]. The quality of service provided by IoV is feasible

with the technologically advanced smart cities for improving the habitat environment in an intelligent manner. The evolution of IoV in the day-to-day activities of human has led to the development of dedicated communication standard of IEEE1609/ wireless access in vehicular environment (WAVE) from dedicated short range communication (DSRC). The dedicated standard is designed to aid: vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2X) communication genres in a
