Abstract: The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is an important idea in developing intelligent transportation systems and self-driving cars. Vehicles with various wireless networking options can communicate both inside and outside the vehicles. IoVs with cognitive radio (CR) enable communication between vehicles in a variety of communication scenarios, increasing the rate of data transfer and bandwidth. The use of CR can meet the future need for quicker data transport between vehicles and infrastructure (V2I). Vehicles with CR capabilities on VANET have a different appearance than regular VANET vehicles. This paper aims to develop effective spectrum management for CR-equipped automobiles. An improved channel decision model has been proposed with proven outcomes to boost the pace of transmission, eliminate end-to-end delays, and minimize the number of handoffs. Many high-bandwidth channels will be used in the near future to communicate large-sized multimedia content between vehicles and roadside units (RSU) for both entertainment and safety purposes. Co-operative sensing promotes energy-constrained CR vehicles for sensing a wide spectrum, resulting in high-quality communication channels for requesting vehicles. Our research on the CR-VANET focuses on channel decision instead of spectrum sensing and it differs from previous studies. We used the DAHP–TOPSIS model under multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA), a sub-domain of operations research, to boost profits, i.e., transmission rate with less computing time. We constructed a test-bed in MATLAB and carried out several analyses to demonstrate that the suggested model performs better than other parallel MCDA models because there has been a limited amount of research work conducted with CR-VANET
