Dynamic Cluster Based Connectivity Approach for Vehicular Adhoc Networks

Abstract

With a broad scope to communicate and control the roadway of interest, the field of VANET is getting more attention among researchers. Owing to the real-time traffic data monitoring requirements, VANET emerged as an ideal network to a great extent. In VANET, the mobility of vehicles and frequent changes in connectivity of moving on-board units (OBU) along with the deployed (Road side Infrastructures) RSU’s necessitated the evolution of several connectivity optimization techniques. In this proposed work, connectivity of network is evaluated using clustering approach and the connectivity probabilities are investigated in both vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) multilane highway. The simulation results are analyzed using both network and the mobility simulators.
