ABSTRACT

Clustering has the potential to reduce redundant messaging in MANETs and provide an efficient hierarchical network structure. However, it takes time to form and maintain a cluster structure which also requires additional control overhead. In this paper, we aim to analyze a distributed DIrectional Stability-based Clustering Algorithm (DISCA) designed for VANETs, which takes direction, mobility features, and leadership duration into consideration. We provide insights on the theoretical analysis of DISCA and show that the overhead incurred by DISCA is bound by a constant per node per time step, avoiding expensive reclustering chain reactions.
