Cluster connectivity selection criteria in vehicular ad hoc networks

Abstract

Grouping of vehicles into clusters proves to be very rewarding for VANETs as if it reutilizes all the resources within group and thereby increases the system capacity. The main idealization of our work is to provide selection criteria for next available cluster head node (NACH). The various parameters for selection criteria are speed, position, acceleration, directional threshold point, threshold edge. Our proposed work aims to create dynamic cluster by marking down the re-clustering overhead. The simulation results shows that proposed technique prolonged the cluster longevity as compared to other archaic clustering process as well as the existing comparison technique used in the paper.
