A Novel Real Time Framework for Cluster Based Multicast Communication in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks by Waqar Farooq, Muazzam Ali Khan, Saad Rehman

“…In VCS, the cluster head (CH) is elected upon cluster threshold value (CTV) to disseminate the messages within the cluster members (CMs) and to other cluster heads by intercluster communication, which reduces the network overhead. In addition, the vehicles cluster head election (VCHE) procedure is proposed to reduce the number of CHs and CMs switches which results in lower overhead of maintaining the clusters. …”
