Abstract

Clustering has been recently suggested in VANETs to support privacy preserving systems and to provide LTE scalability. First, cluster formation has been suggested to share traffic using short range communication links, aggregate this traffic in one vehicle, and to relay this aggregated traffic hiding the transmitters identities. Second, teaming up vehicles into groups to aggregate traffic can also reduce the number of LTE uplink connections. In this framework, mobility-aware clustering techniques are fundamental to increase the lifetime of mobile clusters. In this paper we provide an insight on what is the achievable cluster lifetime when applying mobility-aware clustering to fast moving objects, and the penalties in terms of control overhead and convergence time. We provide simulation results in ns2 and compare these results with analytical results.
