A cluster-based directional routing protocol in VANET

Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) is a new application of Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) in the field of Inter-vehicle communication. As the high mobility of vehicles, some traditional MANET routing protocols may not fit the VANET. In this paper, we propose a cluster-based directional routing protocol (CBDRP) for highway scenarios, in which the header of a cluster selects another header according to the moving direction of vehicle to forward packets. Simulation results shows the CBDRP can solve the problem of link stability in VANET, realizing reliable and rapid data transmission.
