A Novel approach to Stable Cluster Head Selection with respect to Energy and Distance

Abstract

The Ad-hoc network is a major component of wireless networks. There are two types of networks that are commonly used in this type of system: the MANETs and the VANETs. The former is an ad-hoc network that consists of nodes that are connected to each other. The other is a vehicle-based network that combines the RSU and vehicles. The development of the Vehicle-based Advanced Network (VANET) has been regarded as a major field of research that focuses on improving the safety and efficiency of vehicles. Unlike the MANETs, VANETs are not only mobile, but they also feature highly mobile vehicles. This makes it very challenging to design a network that will work seamlessly with these types of vehicles. One of the most common challenges that a network can face is the clustering of vehicles. There are various techniques that are used to solve this issue, but not all of them are able to provide a comprehensive overview of all the issues. The goal of a cluster design is to create stable clusters that are designed to meet the needs of the users. One of the most critical factors that has to be considered when it comes to designing a network for the VANET is the selection of the cluster head. In this article, we will discuss the various aspects of the cluster head selection algorithm that are being used in the development of the network and also shows the result which shows promising output.
