Abstract
The auto-configuration for Vehicular adhoc networks remains a challenging issue, where the
traveling vehicles (nodes) are not bound to travel only in restricted regions like MANET. The
application of auto-configuration in infrastructure-based seems to be easier issue as compare
to network ad hoc mode. In the ad hoc network, configuration of IP address in advance is not
considered a practical method. Nodes need to be configured on fly or at run time. In VANET the
Vehicular Address Configuration (VAC) protocols, claimed to be first protocol to consider
auto-configuration protocol to reflect on the ad-hoc mode of VANET, but the VAC remained
victim to frequent re-configuration request of IP address. This paper introduces Cluster-Based
Auto-Configuration (C-BAC) protocol for VANET in ad hoc mode environment. The C-BAC applies
lane and speed based grouping algorithm in order to achieve better result. The traveling vehicles
on highways adjust to traveling group according to their traveling cluster. This clustering of vehicle
according to speed and lane grouping stabilizes the network and reduces request re-configuration
requests immensely. In simulation result C-BAC outperforms the VAC protocol, as C-BAC
stabilizes the network and reduces the frequent re-configuration of IP requests.
