Abstract
Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) is designed to have the capability to communicate directly with other vehicles or indirectly using the existing infrastructure. Due to the high-speed mobility of the vehicles, it is a challenging issue to route the messages to their final destination. In this paper, we discuss three relationship of velocity, mobility, relative distance, then a combined Quality of Service (QoS) metric based on them is proposed to meet the clustering requirement. Thereafter, a QoS-aware clustering protocol consisting of cluster head election and multipoints relay selection algorithms is proposed for Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication and implemented with ns-2 simulator. Simulation results have confirmed the analysis and expected performance in terms of cluster head duration, packet delivery ratio, etc.
