Broadcast Storm Mitigation Technique for Cluster Based (Bsmt_Cb) In Vanet

This research proposes a novel clustering algorithm, Broadcast Storm Mitigation Technique for Cluster Based (BSMT_CB) in VANET (BSMT_CB), to address the broadcast storm problem in VANETs. BSMT_CBeffectively groups vehicles based on their relative mobility and selects a minimal number of cluster heads and gateways to ensure efficient message dissemination. By utilizing a dominating set and set cover approach, the algorithm achieves cluster stability and significantly reduces redundant rebroadcasts. Simulation results demonstrate the superior performance of BSMT_CBin terms of message delivery delay, packet loss ratio, packet delivery ratio, and throughput. BSMT_CB outperforms existing methods by reducing broadcast storms, enhancing message reachability, and ensuring efficient message dissemination even in dense traffic conditions. The proposed algorithm offers a promising solution for improving the efficiency and reliability of communication in VANETs.
