The integration of low-power devices in different aspects of life has increased the challenges of mitigating the impact of the heterogeneity of different related technologies. Accordingly, the Internet of Things context is an umbrella that diffuses different proprietary protocols into standardized forms to overcome the heterogeneity problem. The recent IEEE 1609.2-2016 standard is tackling the issue of wireless access security in the vehicular environment. An obstacle arose by which Internet of Things-based, low-power devices are integrated into the Internet of Vehicles cloud. In turn, the overhead of Internet of Vehicles-based protocols must be analyzed regarding the adaptability of low-power devices in the vehicular environment. This paper investigates the burden of the IEEE 1609.2 security stack on Internet of Things-based, limited-capability devices and defines the possible approaches to incorporate these low-power devices within the vehicular network under the IEEE 1609.2 standard. The proposed methodology, through the conducted simulations, demonstrates low security overhead with a 40% reduction in consumed energy over the default WAVE stack. In addition, the results show that including low-power devices within the Internet of Vehicles paradigm is possible, but still more enhancements and contributions are required to minimize the overhead of the WAVE security stack.
