A Novel Cluster based Routing Algorithm for Hybrid Mobility Model in VANET

Abstract

This paper proposes a new approach for cluster based routing algorithm for hybrid mobility model to regulating the vehicular traffic. Our approach uses a new hybrid mobility model combining randomwaypoint and group mobility model using static and dynamic sources and a novel cluster based routing algorithm. To transmit the real time updated information and maintain long link duration to improve the data delivery ratio, we propose Location based Multipath Flooding (LMF) algorithm, which is suitable for vehicles with variable mobility. The scenario and the network are modeled and investigated through extensive simulations using Ns2 simulator to study the performance in terms of cluster construction.
