An Efficient Clustering Approach Broadcast Scheduling Process in Heterogeneous Vehicular Communication

An ECABS proposed model introduces a fresh approach to vehicular communication in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANET) Using a multi-band network architecture with frequencies of 6 GHz, 5.9 GHz, and 60 GHz, ECABS forms a hierarchical multi-hop structure that dynamically adapts cluster formations based on real-time and historical vehicle data, optimizing data transmission, and improving network stability when fading. The model assigns vehicles to cluster heads (CH) and cluster members (CM) based on connectivity and mobility patterns, ensuring efficient communication. Experimental simulations conducted on Ubuntu OS ns-3 demonstrated that ECABS excels beyond the three current models BIOS, P20-ACH, and various CSCFs. ECABS achieved a data success rate of 102.84%, the lowest data loss rate of 12.11 %, and reduced the average). delay to 84.78 milliseconds. It also had the highest network throughput of 401.87 Kbps and the lowest routing load of 187.45 packets. ECABS has shown to be highly effective in enhancing communication reliability, reducing delays, and optimizing resource utilization in VANETs over time, making it a promising candidate for future intelligent transportation systems.
