Novel Fuzzy and Game Theory Based Clustering and Decision Making for VANETs
Different studies have recently emphasized the importance of deploying clustering schemes in Vehicular ad hoc Network (VANET) to overcome challenging problems related to scalability, frequent topology changes, scarcity of spectrum resources, maintaining clusters stability, and rational spectrum management. However, most of these studies addressed the clustering problem using conventional performance metrics while spectrum shortage, and the combination of spectrum trading and VANET architecture have not been tackled so far. Thus, this paper presents a new fuzzy logic based clustering control scheme to support scalability, enhance the stability of the network topology, motivate spectrum owners to share spectrum and provide efficient and cost-effective use of spectrum. Unlike existing studies, the authors' context-aware scheme is based on multi-criteria decision making where fuzzy logic is adopted to rank the multi-attribute candidate nodes for optimizing the selection of cluster heads (CH)s. Criteria related to each candidate node include: received signal strength, speed of vehicle, vehicle location, spectrum price, reachability, and stability of node. The authors' model performs efficiently, exhibits faster recovery in response to topology changes and enhances the network efficiency life time.
