차량 간 통신환경에서 클러스터 기반의 멀티채널 프로토콜 연구

Research of Ad-hoc network have been studied recently. But those Ad-hoc MAC protocols couldn't improve network throughput in vehicle communication environment. So we propose cluster-based multi-channel MAC protocol. Considering the vehicle environment's character, and assume the vehicle on the road as the node. These nodes will form one communication group, then one cluster header will be selected form these nodes. Only the cluster header will manage the table relates to the channel information and tell each node which channel can be used. This clustering based multi channel protocol which can increase the throughput will be supposed in this paper.
