Detailed Description
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The dynamic clustering method based on the vehicle node communication stability can effectively adapt to vehicle-mounted network environments, can be self-adaptively changed aiming at different road environments, and can still keep more stable cluster head number and lower clustering overhead under the scene of network scale and vehicle speed change. The method comprises the following steps: step 1) initializing a vehicle-mounted self-organizing network, and dynamically clustering; and 2) clustering self-adaptive maintenance, including node leaving and node adding, cluster merging and cluster splitting.
Since the vehicles in the vehicle-mounted ad hoc network continuously move, the distance between the vehicles and the link keeping time are directly influenced by the position, the moving speed and the driving direction of the vehicles. Therefore, in this embodiment, connectivity of nodes in the vehicle-mounted ad hoc network is predicted, according to characteristics of roads in an urban environment, the roads can be divided into a Segment Model (Segment Model) and an Intersection Model (Intersection Model), and link connection time of the nodes is calculated respectively, and fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating prediction of network node connection time.
The road section and road environment means that the position relation between vehicles is approximately on a straight line, and the movement between the vehicles is divided into the same direction and the opposite direction. The communication time under the environment is predicted to be the communication time T which can be kept between i and j when the nodes i and j are in the communication state at the moment T ij (t) satisfies the condition D ij (t+T ij (t))≤D th ,D th As a distance threshold, D is satisfied th R is less than or equal to r. Link connection time T that i and j can keep at time T ij (t),d is the distance between nodes i, j in the direction perpendicular to the road, d is approximately 0 when i and j are on the same lane, and d is approximately equal to d on the adjacent lane r Wherein d is r Is the width of the segment (x, y), theta is the included angle between the segment and the horizontal direction, and the included angle is more than or equal to 0 degree and less than or equal to 90 degrees, and x i (t) is the abscissa of the node i, x j (t) is the ordinate of the node i,is the average relative velocity of node i and node j over Δ t.
The intersection road environment means that the relative movement direction between the vehicle nodes is presented as the same road section direction or the cross road section direction. The connected time prediction in this environment is classified into the following two cases: 1) The node i and the node j are simultaneously positioned at an Intersection (x, y), and when the node i and the node j are positioned at the same road section before entering the Intersection, the node i and the node j leave the Intersection and drive into different road sections; 2) When the node i and the node j are in different road sections before entering the intersection, and the node i and the node j leave the intersection and drive into different road sections.
Under the condition of a road at an Intersection, the node i and the node j are simultaneously positioned at an Intersection (x, y), when the node i and the node j are positioned at the same road section before entering the Intersection and the moving directions of the node i and the node j are respectively directed to different road sections by the Intersection, namely the node i and the node j leave the Intersection and drive into different road sections; for example, the vehicle C and the vehicle D are located at the same intersection, the vehicle C and the vehicle D travel on the same road segment before entering the intersection, and after passing the intersection, the vehicle C turns left and the vehicle D turns right, and travels to different road segments; if the distance D between i and j ij (t) satisfies the following formula
Then T ij (t)=0,l i Length of Intersection (x, y) region; w is a i Width of Intersection (x, y) region; omega is an included angle between two road sections (x, y) at the node i and the node j under the intersection model, and meets the condition that omega is more than or equal to 0 degree&And lt, 180 degrees, under a vertical intersection model, theta =0 degrees, and omega =90 degrees.
Under the condition of a road at an intersection, when a node i and a node j are in different road sections before entering the intersection and the node i and the node j leave the intersection to drive into different road sections, the above conditions are not satisfied, for example, as shown in fig. 1, a vehicle D and a vehicle E are positioned at the same intersection, before entering the intersection, the vehicle D and the vehicle E drive on different road sections, after passing through the intersection, the vehicle D and the vehicle E drive straight, and the vehicle D and the vehicle E drive on different road sections; if the distance between the vehicles i and j is less than or equal to Dth at the time t + delta t, then
Δv x The difference value of the speed of the node i and the speed of the node j in the delta t at the coordinate horizontal component; Δ x is the difference between the coordinate horizontal components of the node i and the node j at the time t; Δ v y The difference value of the speed of the node i and the speed of the node j in the coordinate vertical component in the delta t is obtained; Δ y is the difference between the coordinate vertical components of node i and node j at time t.
All vehicles of the vehicle-mounted self-organizing network are assumed to adopt omnidirectional antennas, the transmission radiuses of the nodes are the same, and all communication is bidirectional links. The nodes and the neighbor nodes in the network acquire the information of the neighbor nodes through periodic BM (Beacon Message) Beacon messages, wherein the information comprises a node ID, a position p (x, y), a speed v, a direction d and a cluster head ID. The Cluster head node and the Cluster member nodes complete the network initialization Cluster establishment and the dynamic Cluster maintenance process through CM (Cluster Message) clustering messages. The symbol definitions used in the clustering algorithm are shown in table 1.
TABLE 1 notation definition notes sheet
For a given network G (V, E), the clustering process is a process of partitioning nodes into sets M using a clustering algorithm.
The Cluster Head Node in the network is CH (Cluster Head), and the Common Node is CN (Common Node).
The ID owned by each node in the network is unique; the network road environment is divided into two models: road segments and intersections. Each road section has a unique identifier, and the identifier is marked as Segment (x, y); each Intersection has a unique identifier, denoted as interaction (x, y).
The moving direction of the cluster M (i) is the moving direction of the cluster head i, and the cluster moves along with the movement of the cluster head.
Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of initialized road segment clustering.
The dynamic clustering initialization process is that when the clustering initialization is started, all nodes in a network are common nodes CN, the nodes update own neighbor tables by acquiring BM beacon messages of neighbor nodes, and establish or join clusters through the following process to promote cluster head nodes CH. The method specifically comprises the following steps:
step 1-1) a vehicle node i acquires a current position p (x, y), a speed v and a moving direction d, judges the current road environment according to the current road position identification, and calculates the node degree Degi and the node average connection time of the current node
The road location identification is a section identification Segment (x, y) or Intersection identification interaction (x, y).
The average connection time of the nodes is the average time length value of the connection between the node i and all the directly connected neighbor node links at the time t, and is used for measuring the connection quality of the nodes.
The node degree is the sum of the number of nodes which are arranged around the vehicle node i at the time t and can be directly connected, and is used for measuring the connection condition of the vehicle node i at the time t.
Step 1-2) node i fills BM beacon message, broadcasts BM beacon message to neighbor node; receiving BM beacon messages from neighbor nodes, updating a neighbor list, and starting clustering waiting time timing;
step 1-3) judging whether a cluster M and a cluster head node CH exist in a current area by a node i through neighbor BM beacon information, if the cluster exists in a road environment where the node i is located, the node i receives a CM cluster message from a node j, inserting the information of the node j into a cluster head list, filling an ID of the cluster head node j into the BM beacon message, and sending the BM beacon message to the cluster head node j; the node j receives the beacon message from the node i, compares the cluster head information, adds the node i into a cluster member list, and then jumps to the step 1-8); if not, jumping to the next step;
step 1-4) when no cluster exists in the environment of the node i, judging whether the cluster waiting time exceeds the system preset cluster waiting time tw, if so, the node is elected as a cluster head node, and executing step 1-6); if not, jumping to the next step;
step 1-5) the node firstly judges the position mark of the current road, calculates the communication stability Wstability (i) of the current node, and judges whether the requirement that the Wstability (i) is more than or equal to W is met th Wherein W is th A connectivity stability threshold set for the system;
if the conditions are met, the node directly creates a cluster and enters the step 1-6); if the condition is not met, the node waits for the time t0 and returns to the step 1-2);
the node communication stability is a comprehensive evaluation index of a node i at the time t, the value is calculated by the factors of the average node communication time, the node degree, the node speed, the node movement direction and the like, and the larger the value is, the more preferentially the node becomes a cluster head node.
Adopting an improved scheme based on weighting clustering WCA to perform weighting calculation on different weights, wherein the calculated comprehensive weight value is the node communication stability, the performance is optimal when the node communication stability is the maximum, the node communication stability is preferentially selected as a cluster head node, and the communication stability of the node is calculated as follows:
wherein:the average communication time normalization value of the node i represents the relative size of the average communication time of the current node and the neighbor node, and meets the requirement of
The connectivity of the node i is represented, the better the connectivity of the node is, the higher the value is, the requirement is met
The motion state of the current vehicle node i is represented, the condition that delta v (i) is less than or equal to 1 is met, and the lower the variation of the speed in unit time is, the larger the delta v (i) is. And defines the speed of the vehicle i at [0,1 ]]In the interval, =1, = v (i);
the correlation degree of the current node i and the moving direction of the neighbor node is represented, and the requirements of the correlation degree
In the formula, ω 1, ω 2, ω 3, and ω 4 are weighting factors, and the values thereof are different in the road section and the intersection environment, and the sum thereof is 1.
Averaging the connection time for the node i;the average communication time of the neighbor node j; n is the number of neighbor nodes of the node i; deg i Is the node degree, deg, of a node th A system node degree threshold value, the size of which depends on the network scale and the number of vehicles; v. of max Is the maximum travel speed; v. of i The current running speed is the node i; delta (i, t) is the speed variance value of the node i in the (t-delta t, t) time period; n is a radical of hydrogen c The number of neighbor nodes with the movement direction consistent with the node i.
Under the Segment (x, y), the vehicle node with larger average connection time and highest direction correlation degree has larger connection stability W stability Preferentially becoming a cluster head; at Intersection (x, y), the longer the average connection time of the vehicle, and the lower the running speed, the connection stability W stability The higher the node becomes the cluster head, the more stable the clustering isHigh, the longer the cluster survival time.
Step 1-6), the node i becomes a cluster head node, and a CM clustering message is broadcasted to a neighbor node; the clustering message comprises a cluster head ID, establishment time and a message type; where the message type flag creates < Cluster Create > for the Cluster.
Step 1-7) the neighbor node j receives the CM clustering message from the node i, inserts the information of the node i into a cluster head list, simultaneously fills the ID of the cluster head node i into the BM beacon message, and sends the BM beacon message to the cluster head node i; and the node i receives the beacon message from the j, compares the cluster head information and adds the j into the cluster member list.
Step 1-8) repeating steps 1-1) to 1-8) until all nodes in the network have joined the cluster.
The self-adaptive cluster maintenance process mainly aims at the joining and moving-out of vehicle nodes, the reselection of cluster head nodes and the combination and the splitting of clusters. By dividing the cluster self-adaptation according to the road environment, the stability of the cluster is ensured to be enhanced, and the network overhead is reduced.
The leaving and joining of the nodes specifically comprises the following steps:
step 2-1-1) the cluster member node j periodically acquires the beacon information of the neighbor node and updates a cluster head list;
step 2-1-2) in a time period of t1, when a cluster member node j does not receive beacon information from a current cluster head node i, namely the current cluster head i is found to be unreachable, indicating that the cluster member node j leaves the communication radius of the cluster M (i), and entering step 2-1-3); and when the cluster member node j simultaneously receives the BM beacon information from the new cluster head node k, the current node enters the communication radius of the cluster M (k), and the steps 2-1-6) are executed.
Step 2-1-3) when the cluster member node j judges that the current cluster M (i) is left, searching whether other cluster head node beacon information exists, and if so, performing the next step 2-1-4); if the node j does not receive the beacon information from other cluster head nodes, executing the step 2-1-5).
Step 2-1-4) judging the road environment of the node j, and calculating the node j and the cluster head node when the node is in the section (x, y)k link connection time T kj (T) if T is satisfied kj (t)>T th If the node is in the cluster M (k), filling the ID of the cluster head node k into the BM beacon message and broadcasting the BM beacon message to the neighbor nodes, and if the ID is not in the cluster head node k, executing the step 2-1-5); when the node j is positioned at the Intersection (x, y), if the cluster head node k is positioned at the Intersection (x, y), the node j is directly added into the cluster M (k); if the cluster head node k is in the Segment (x, y), j and the cluster head node k are judged to meet T kj (t)>T th If yes, adding the cluster M (k), otherwise, entering the next step 2-1-5).
Step 2-1-5) waiting for tw time, repeatedly judging whether available clusters exist, if no clusters exist, starting a cluster initialization clustering process by the node j, and executing the step 1).
Step 2-1-6) if the node j receives the beacon information of the cluster head node i and the new cluster head node k at the same time, calculating the link connection maintaining time T between the node j and the current cluster head node i and the new cluster head node k respectively ij (T) and T kj (t) of (d). If T kj ≥η·T ij If the node j selects to leave the current cluster M (i), a new cluster M (k) is added, and meanwhile, a BM beacon message is broadcasted to the neighbor nodes; otherwise, the node does not perform any processing; wherein eta cluster head switching proportionality coefficient satisfies eta is more than or equal to 1.
