Abstract

Due to the inherent characteristics of Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs), such as uneven distribution and high mobility, establishing and maintaining efficient routes for data dissemination is a significant and challenging issue. To enhance communication efficiency, many cluster-based protocols have been designed to reduce data redundancy and the number of control messages by integrating vehicles into manageable groups headed by a superior vehicle, known as the cluster head (CH). Nevertheless, most existing protocols are unable to adaptively adjust the cluster, resulting in a significant network burden and message transmission delay. To address this issue, we propose a cluster-based routing method empowered by Vehicle Fog Computing(VFC), which takes advantage of the clustering architecture to reduce the overhead of routing discovery and maintenance. Specifically, based on data transmission requirements and vehicle environment status, the proposed method can adaptively adjust the cluster structure and the number of CHs to reduce data redundancy and transmission load in concurrent scenarios of massive data transmission. Moreover, cooperating with the adaptive clustering method, a routing method is proposed to improve the efficiency of data transmission. Lastly, we conducted extensive experiments to verify the cluster-based routing scheme based on VFC. Our experimental results demonstrate that the proposed routing protocol is feasible and performs well compared to existing methods.
