Abstract

In this paper, problem of clustering in Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) using Quality of Service Optimized Link State Routing (QOS-OLSR) protocol is addressed. The solution proposed is QOS based. The goal is to form stable clusters and maintain the stability during communication and link failures while satisfying the Quality of Service requirements. This is achieved by (1) considering the high mobility metrics while computing the QOS, (2) using Ant Colony Optimization for MPRs selection, and (3) using MPR recovery algorithm able to select alternatives and keep the networks connected in case of failures.
