Performance Evaluation of a Multi-Hop Cluster Based Algorithm for Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks

Abstract: Vehicular ad hoc networks are characterized as the ad hoc networks with dynamic and dense network topology which faces issues like routing, data congestion, and overhead. One technique which has proved to be useful in managing VANETs is clustering. Clustering is a technique to divide the network into smaller, distributed and more stable hierarchical structure. The parameters like speed, position, distance, direction and mobility are used for clustering the networks. Clustering helps in load balancing, improving scalability, efficient resource allocation and reducing overhead. In this paper a multi-hop cluster-based algorithm (MhCA) for VANET is proposed which uses Fuzzy TOPSIS for CH selection based on Rank Index of nodes. The flowchart of the algorithm along with the description of the algorithm is given below in the paper. Extensive simulation experiments are run using the ns3 and SUMO to evaluate & compare the performance of proposed algorithm with the existing multi-hop algorithms like VMaSC and n-hop. Keywords: CH, CM, CH Change Duration, CH Duration, OSM, NS3.

Hoc Networks

With faster expansion of mobile networks and quicker increment of web clients, more individuals approach worldwide data and communication innovation, because of which the issues of utilizing web as a worldwide stage and empowering the savvy protests and machines to coordinate, discuss, register, and ascertain slowly develops. In mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) and vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANET), the mobile stations and vehicles are self-reconfigurable as per the difference in network topology. Joint action between convenient centers is more basic because of the way that they confront significant difficulties, for example, frailty to work securely while protecting its advantages and performing secure guiding among center points. In the presence of vindictive hubs, one of the rule challenges in MANET is to plot ground-breaking security course of action that can shield MANET from different routing assaults.

Hoc Networks

Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) are appropriate networks that can be applied for intelligent transportation systems. Three important challenges in VANETs are studied in this chapter. The first challenge is to defend against attackers. Because of the lack of a coordination unit in a VANET, vehicles should cooperate together and monitor each other in order to enhance security performance of the VANET. As the second challenge in VANETs, scalability is a critical issue for a network designer. Clustering is one solution for the scalability problem and is vital for efficient resource consumption and load balancing in large scale VANETs. On the other hand, due to the high-rate topology changes and high variability in vehicles density, transmission range of a vehicle is an important issue for forwarding and receiving messages. In this chapter, we study the clustering algorithms, the solutions appropriate to increase connectivity, and the algorithms that can detect attackers in a VANET.
