Localization technique in VANets using Clustering (LVC)
Relative location information is an important aspect in
vehicular Ad hoc networks .It helps to build vehicle topology
maps, also provides location information of nearby vehicles.
Due to the characteristics of VANet, the existing relative
positioning techniques developed initially for Ad hoc or
sensors networks are not directly applicable to vehicular
networks. In this paper, we propose a protocol of localization in VANet
when no GPS information is available, based on clustering and
has the advantage to use a single coordinates system. We study
its impact on the performances of the network, by using the
network simulator NS-2.
