Classification of Clustering Schemes in VANETs

چکیده
The emergence of Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) provides drivers and passengers with safer and more convenient services. However special characteristics of VANETs such as high mobility, movement constraint, and signal blocking hinder the wide propagation of it. One good way to alleviate those unique characteristics of VANETs is clustering. Even though there are many clustering techniques, few investigations to understand them are conducted. In this paper, we examine some cluster based approaches in VANETs carefully and classify them into two categories based on the property of cluster; that is, stationary cluster and mobile cluster. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of both will be illustrated. We hope that researchers who design the new clustering mechanism in VANETs could facilitate this classification to make theirs more suitable for their purpose. Keywords—Clustering, classification, survey, VANETs, Computer Networks and Data Communication

A Mobility-Aware General-Purpose Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network Clustering Scheme
Clustering is an effective method of topology control for wireless ad-hoc networks. Clusters introduce a structure in a flat network and can guarantee some basic levels of performance in presence of high mobility and large number of nodes. Therefore clusters can effectively increase the network capacity by the spatial reuse of network resources. Robust clustering schemes designed specifically f...

A vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is a mobile network in which vehicles acting as moving nodes communicate with each other through an ad hoc wireless network. VANETs have become the core component of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) which aim to improve the road safety and efficiency. Only if the communication scheme used in a VANET is stable can these aims be achieved. Frequent change...

Text clustering and classification are two main tasks of text mining. Feature selection plays the key role in the quality of the clustering and classification results. Although word-based features such as term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) vectors have been widely used in different applications, their shortcoming in capturing semantic concepts of text motivated researches to use...

Vehicular Ad hoc NETworks (VANETs) as the basic infrastructure can facilitate applications and services of connected vehicles (CVs). Cognitive radio (CR) technology is an effective supplement and enhancement for VANETs. It can reduce the impact of deficiency of spectrum resource in VANETs. Although CR-VANETs can utilize the unused licensed spectrum effectively, the distributed nature of CR-VANE...
متن کاملBrowse searchable encryption schemes: Classification, methods and recent developments
With the advent of cloud computing, data owners tend to submit their data to cloud servers and allow users to access data when needed. However, outsourcing sensitive data will lead to privacy issues. Encrypting data before outsourcing solves privacy issues, but in this case, we will lose the ability to search the data. Searchable encryption (SE) schemes have been proposed to achieve this featur...
