Connectivity and Mobility Aware Dynamic Clustering in VANETs

In this position paper, we present dynamic and stable clustering scheme in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANET) based on relative speed and connectivity among neighboring vehicles. The proposed scheme uses multiagent system to form dynamic and stable clusters in VANETs on a lane between two intersections by considering vehicle speed, direction, connectivity degree to other vehicles and mobility pattern. Multiagent system comprises of heavy-weight static and light-weight mobile agents. Clustering performance is measured in terms of cluster formation time and cluster head selection time.
